'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion.

"We know that there is a huge public corruption problem in New Jersey"
Says US Attorney Christopher Christie about the scandal surrounding Governor James E. McGreevey's resignation and alleged affair with a man he hired to work in his administration who was not qualified.
Christie voices harshest criticism yet of McGreevey
Newsday.com, September 10, 2004, 9:41 AM EDT DENVILLE, N.J. -- Saying political corruption has reached the state's highest office, U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie gave his harshest public criticism of Governor James E. McGreevey. Christie, who is often mentioned as a possible Republican candidate for governor in next year's election, told a civic group Thursday that it is time to act against those who want "to infect our political process." "We know that there is a huge public corruption problem in New Jersey, and we know it goes from the top to the bottom _ from the governor's office to the local school board, and every level in between," Christie told about three dozen members of the Silver Brigade, an anti-tax group at a senior center in this Morris County community. "When the governor of New Jersey is forced to resign over corruption, we are out of time. The time to make a difference is now _ today." Christie's comments came in his first public appearance since McGreevey announced Aug. 12 that he would resign after disclosing that he had an extramarital affair with a man. Administration sources have identified the man as Golan Cipel, a former state employee who the governor appointed as a homeland security adviser at a $110,000 salary. In remarks after his speech, Christie said he was not suggesting that McGreevey had committed any illegal acts. "While I'm not saying that the governor himself was corrupt, I am saying that the scandals surrounding his administration weakened him to the point where he felt his only option was to resign," Christie told The Record of Bergen County. "Let me be clear: I am not standing here accusing the governor or anyone else of committing a crime. As we always do, our office will completely and thoroughly follow the facts, wherever they lead, and take whatever action is appropriate thereafter." McGreevey spokesman Micah Rasmussen declined comment on Christie's speech. In July, McGreevey said Christie was trying to "smear" him after the U.S. Attorney's Office charged longtime McGreevey fund-raiser David D'Amiano with corruption. The governor McGreevey attacked the indictment _ which referred to McGreevey as "state official one" in describing meetings he had with the fund-raiser _ saying that it read like a "political novel." |
