NJGOP Chairman – Usually outspoken Senator Loretta Weinberg Remarkably Quiet in Wake of her Port Authority protege’s resignation.

Trenton, NJ – Following the news that the Port Authority Commissioner whom Senator Loretta Weinberg shepherded through the approval process resigned after a shameful ethics violation, NJGOP Chairman Steinhardt released the following statement:

“According to Ted Sherman at nj.com, the first casualty of the NY/NJ Port Authority’s newly implemented ethics reforms is none other than the Chair of the Authority’s own Ethics Committee and former Clinton and Corzine finance committee member, Caren Z. Turner. Turner was nominated by former Governor Chris Christie at the request and on the recommendation of Senator Loretta Weinberg. And while the  Inspector General referred to Turner’s conduct as ‘profoundly disturbing’ the usually outspoken Weinberg has been unusually silent in the wake of her Port Authority protege’s abrupt resignation.”
