Corruption Watch

NJBIZ, Mar 21, 2005

The allegations keep on coming. Last week's gasoline on the ethics pyre included a tale of supposed favoritism for Acting Governor Richard Codey's brother. The flap over First Brother Robert Codey, 55, a deputy attorney general, arose after it was disclosed that Attorney General Peter Harvey and then-acting state Personnel Commissioner Marjorie Schwartz-both of whom were later appointed to Codey's cabinet-signed off on waivers that boosted Robert Codey's salary to $140,000.

That was well above the state guideline of some $115,000 a year and qualified Robert Codey for a lifetime pension of $95,000 a year.
