ESSEX COUNTY EXECUTIVE IN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN SCANDAL

A big report in The Star-Ledger today reveals how one local engineering firm, Birdsall Services Group, funneled illegal contributions to dozens of public officials.

Among them our own Essex County Executive Joe Divincenzo, who seems to be brought up in such scandals too often.

According to the detailed story, Joe D received $5,900 in contributions that were apparently funneled through third-party employees of Birdsall.

No one from Maplewood's Township Committee was listed in the wrongful donations.
