Yudin on Coniglio: This is what one-party rule gets you

By Matt Friedman | April 17th, 2009 - 5:15pm

Bergen County Republican Chairman Bob Yudin used former state Sen. Joe Conilgio’s conviction on six corruption counts as an appeal to Bergen County voters.  

The best way to stop similar behavior in the future, he said, is to vote some Republicans into office.

“It’s a sad and unfortunate day. It is nothing to be happy about,” said Yudin.  “What it tells me is that this is what happens when you have one-party rule, which is what we have in New Jersey not only at the state level in Trenton, but here in Bergen County.”

Republicans have not held a seat on the Board of Chosen Freeholders since 2006 and only hold legislative seats in Districts 39 and 40.

“Since the Democrats took control of Bergen County, everything has been for sale to the highest bidder,” he said. “The two party system is what gives us transparency and prevents elected officials from doing things like this.”

Democrat Political Termites

Submitted by Humbleservant on April 17, 2009 - 9:39pm.

Just when will the voters in Bergen wake up and call the political ORKIN MAN. Bergen County is rotten to the core. Ferriero, Oury, Conigilio and his wife who is still Freeholder clerk. The biggest crook of the lot is Jimmy the fat Gov fool Carroll who feeds his face with 3 taxpayer jobs. This guy could not hold down one real job in the private sector. These corrupt liberals together with their " SCHEIN HEILIG" ASSOCIATES WEINBERG et al ARE A BLIGHT ON BERGEN COUNTY

Codey

Submitted by ImWithStupid on April 18, 2009 - 8:07am.

I can't believe people think Codey wasn;t involved. Wake the F up. Three (3) out of Codey's handpicked Senate Budget members went to jail... two for shoveling money into their employers' hands. Codey created the slush fund that is putting is friends in jail and tolerated the climate that has come to this. He helped Coniglio get the joke-job. Coniglio may be the nicest guy in the world... but that doesn't excuse dipping into money meant to help a hospital and its patients so a friend can have a joke job. It doesn't excuse looking the other way and having nothing to say while members after indictment continued to vote on things and were left on the budget committee. It's depressing. Codey has been in the system so long I don't think he even knows where the line is anymore. Codey and people like Bowling should understand... part of the reason Codey's friends are going to jail is his own behavior and he needs to seriously think about moving on or correcting his own views of how the Senate and the world SHOULD work.

Blame yourselves...

Submitted by Bodoc on April 20, 2009 - 8:49am.

The local and state Republicans want someone to blame...they should look in the mirror. Voters were (and are) looking for alternatives, but -- up to now -- the Republicans appeared to be inept,clueless, infighting Bush supporters. If you want a role model of political success and judgment, Barrack Obama and Howard Dean would be better choices than the Keystone Kops. Re: Christie. He may have, temporarily, put a minority of the bad actors under the gun, but he is also in ethical denial (see Ashcroft contract). That's "change" NJ style. Lock the Dems up and give millions to a Republican. LOL!

Radical Reforms For A Radically Corrupt System...

Submitted by Nick Lento on April 22, 2009 - 11:48am.

That's what's needed.

If Republicans offer that and the Democrats don't, Republicans will win in Bergen County and throughout the state.

Both parties are dirty as regards pay to play.

Both parties are guilty of being dominated by machine politics...which is inherently corrupt.

Find some honest squeaky clean reform Republicans and run them!

As usual, the people are way ahead of the pols; they are ready from some serious root to branch radical reforms

From Frederick Douglass

If there is no struggle there is no progress......Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
