Corrado Slams Murphy’s Appointment of Derrick Green to State Bank Board

Senator Kristin Corrado slammed Governor Murphy’s appointment of Derrick Green to the Public Bank Implementation Board created through executive order today.

“This administration continues to demonstrate questionable judgment in its hiring practices,” said Corrado (R-40). “Derrick Green was involved in a political scandal that brought down a government as a result of a missing $350,000. Only Phil Murphy would put someone like him on a board to create a bank.”

Corrado, a vice-chair of the Legislative Select Oversight Committee, had previously questioned the employment of Derrick Green in the Secretary of State’s office while he was under investigation for a major campaign finance scandal in Bermuda.

Green was paid more than $2 million as a consultant for Murphy’s gubernatorial campaign.
