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.
