As per se to the level of men and women employed by Hudson County in New Jersey—leaves everyone in limbo on what actually happened who knew, and why hasn’t Hudson County Executive Thomas Degise made any statements to why he allowed Solomon Dwek on having so much influence with employees of his administration. TheFanNJ one of those that protested the probe of people and leaders within the administration that allowed such things to happen – whereas in this investigation from lots of independent sources: TheFanNJ is asking, if you were a leader of an administration; plus 145 members of your administration was mentioned. With 50 people talked to, and having 23 of them indicted on charges of money laundering and non reporting of bribes in that administration—where you as a leader doesn’t say one word. These types of actions has to draw some type of response from the leader of the Administration.
Tom Degise, during this probe in 2009 – didn’t say one word, he went into a closet and ducked under the covers, plus played possum with the media. Yes, that’s right; TheFanNJ is calling Tom Degise a coward for not saying anything, stepping up to lead in a time of confusion, to where the people were now demanding action. The People wanted Council representative Mariano Vega to resign: Tom Degise, did nothing—the leaders wanted Mayor Jerramiah Healy to resign; Tom Degise did nothing. And the people wanted any leader to say something, about how Solomon Dwek was able to penetrate a level of corruption the county and nation has ever seen. Yet, the guy in control of it all did nothing, and watched – closed his doors, and became a coward. When you needed a voice in Hudson County, the only voice to stand up for the people was: Omar Dyer, and the Next Generation of Leaders Movement.
Omar Dyer the public advocate came in to help John Lynch and Esther Winter’s Recall of Team Healy. With Political Pressure, and political clot – he forced and pulled Mariano Vega out of the position he held for 25 years.
Omar Dyer, who we are talking about, saved the Department of Public Works from the prosecution of Mayor Healy’s lies. It was Omar Dyer that went door to door, getting people to sign a petition; all by himself, to get funding for programs in Montgomery Projects. And Now Senator Menendez, has granted $250,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, for Montgomery projects in Jersey City, New Jersey. It was Omar Dyer that canvassed the streets with the police, in order to help them bridge the gap with local disenfranchised residents, and rallied with them – when they had their labor disputes with the Mayor. And it was Omar Dyer, that came to the defense of those discriminated in Bayonne New Jersey. And he cried –wrote letters, investigated, and became a part of the discrimination in Bayonne New Jersey, not an outsider complaining. Change needs to come to Hudson County, and during this recession we have learned one thing about our leaders in Hudson County. Many of them are out for themselves, their friends, family, and the system of nepotism. They have lost touch with the people, and believe that if they pay you, or threaten your job – they can secure your vote. While the life and quality of where we live drops, and you can’t change the mind of someone who has been doing things one way for more than ten to twenty years. The only way to change them is at the ballot box.
So we need to learn and know this, we can’t allow the policies of hide – run, and steer clear of yesterday lead us into the future. Tom Degise is a coward of a leader, and his only goal – is to beat Senator Sandra Cunningham, because she blocked his appointment to become a board member on the transit authority—which would have made him a millionaire off the public dime—with three or four public stipend jobs.
