It s a big election year in New Jersey, so it s not surprising to hear legislators pumping the news cycle with scorching critiques like this one:
Because Governor Murphy s administration has failed to protect the most vulnerable people under its care, a new public advocate, an independent watchdog agency, is needed that will quickly investigate complaints of abuse and mismanagement at state institutions.
Yet this criticism didn t come from Murphy s foes from the Republican Party. It came from fellow Democrats, including two who will be on the same ballot with the governor this fall.
“Too often, the administrators responsible do everything they can to prevent public disclosure of the crisis or abuse, said Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, D-Teaneck, who proposed the public advocate plan in a joint statement with Sen. Linda Greenstein, D-Mercer, and Sen. Nellie Pou, D-Passaic.
