After years of its partners making direct political contributions to the tune of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, DeCotiis, Fitzpatrick, Cole & Giblin’s reportable donations in 2020 would barely cover the rent of a cold water flat.
The firm s lone reportable contribution in 2020 was $1,000 from DeCotiis partner Bart Mongelli to Sen. Nicholas Sacco (D-Hudson) in October. Had Mongelli not sent that check, the firm would not have had to detail each of its contracts with New Jersey agencies, municipal governments, public universities and authorities in a lengthy annual pay-to-play statement. That book of business has been worth between $10 million and $17 million in each of the last 13 years, according to its filings.

Just two years ago, we were at the middle of a massive fight between Gov. Murphy and George Norcross over tax incentives.

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.
