Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce

DeCROCE: ALL 31 ASSEMBLY REPUBLICANS AGREE
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD TURN OVER ALL DOCUMENTS
REQUESTED BY THE U.S. ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY

In a letter faxed to U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie this morning, Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce said all 31 members of the Assembly Republican caucus oppose the decision made by the Office of Legislative Services and ruling Democrats to refuse to comply with a federal subpoena seeking documents pertinent to a reportedly wide-ranging political corruption probe.

"After checking with every member of my caucus, I want the U.S. Attorney to know Assembly Republicans are united in the belief that the decision by the Office of Legislative Services to retain special counsel and challenge the federal subpoena in court is a colossal mistake," said DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic. "It was done without our knowledge or support.

"It is important for Chris Christie and the public at large to know that when Edward Dauber, the special counsel retained by the Office of Legislative Services, appears before U.S. District Court Judge Mary Cooper to fight the subpoena he is not speaking on behalf of the entire Legislature by a long shot. He is certainly not speaking for my members."
