Team Bhalla Response to DeFusco’s “Ethics Proposal”

“Councilman  DeFusco’s ethics ordinance remains a transparent attempt to deflect attention from the fact that Frank Raia, one of his largest political contributors, was found guilty of a large-scale voter fraud scheme, in which hard cold cash was traded for votes, and that his former campaign manager was at the heart of the scheme.  Councilman Doyle and Councilwomen Jabbour were open to working on a comprehensive proposal as DeFusco falsely advertised his to be— not engaging in a symbolic exercise. Stamping out voter fraud and ensuring the integrity of elections is the number one ethical issue in Hoboken. Any truly comprehensive proposal must address it.”
