(Woodbury, NJ) – Gloucester County’s Division of Senior Services/Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ARDC) is supporting older adults with all assistance programs that help with energy bills. Gloucester County Freeholder Director Robert Damminger and Freeholder Lyman Barnes said that applications will be taken for the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) now through April 30, 2013. 

\”LIHEAP assists low-income households with their electric, gas, oil and other types of fuel. This critical federal program can make a big difference to help residents who struggle to keep warm in the winter because they cannot afford their energy bills,\” said Freeholder Director Robert Damminger.

\”Among the many gifts that we buy and receive, let us not forget the true gift: To give each other something of ourselves, to give each other something of our time, to open our time to God. In this way Anxiety disappears, Joy is born, and the Feast is created.\” HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI

This scheme was uncovered by the State Comptroller\’s Report on DRPA Corruption. And guess who condemned the Norcross\’ backroom practices? The Star Ledger again:

The political boss George Norcross holds no job or title at the Delaware River Port Authority. Yet in the state comptroller’s scathing report about financial mismanagement there, guess who plays a starring role?

Turns out, Norcross got kickbacks for steering insurance contracts from the state agency, according to the report…

Not surprising, since the Democratic power broker runs South Jersey — but prefers to do so behind the scenes. Norcross, also the biggest name in the state’s insurance brokerage business, allegedly orchestrated a payment of $410,000 to his own company in return for recommending another insurance broker for the authority.

An additional payment went to a second broker, Michael Martucci, who happens to be an acquaintance of Norcross’ wife. When asked by the comptroller exactly what work he did to deserve his $45,000 cut, Martucci was succinct: \”I performed nothing.\”…

It took a two-year probe to pull the curtain back on these South Jersey shenanigans. Now imagine how many other backstage handshakes we pay for in this state.

 

Yes. That is the same editorial board under the direction of amnesiac Tom Moran. Condemning corruption uncovered in one report and citing Norcross as a wonderful benefactor in the next. But not only contradicting the initial overall portrait of the political boss – suddenly reversing itself on \”backstage handshakes.\”

The message from the Star Ledger is clear: it\’s OK to be corrupt if your corruption leads to things we agree with.

What could go wrong?
