A group of residents in Collingswood have launched an New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) investigation into Jim Maley of the law firm Maley Givens PC, currently running for Commissioner of Collingswood. Maley, the current mayor, is a 32-year incumbent.
The residents allege that Maley did not file an ELEC pay-to-play report in either 2018 or 2019. According to their complaint, “In 2018, the firm submitted a blank report without the necessary information required by law. In 2019, the firm submitted no report at all. There is sufficient evidence to believe that the firm procured at least $50,000 in public contracts, thereby triggering the reporting requirement.” Prior to 2018 and 2019, Maley Givens PC had reported nearly $1 million in public contracts a year each year.
