Dear Editor:
The Bush Team policy, through Attorney General George Ashcroft and US Attorney Christopher Ritchie, to secretly keep criminals, such as former Hudson County Executive Robert Janiszewski, in public office to detect possible bribery attempts in the thousands is proving a disaster.
Such criminals no longer attend to public business properly, as shown by Janiszewski’s failure to monitor performance of questionable contracts to privatize geriatric facilities at Pollak Hospital and Meadowview Hospital, leading to default and bankruptcy, and losses to the public in the millions of dollars and still counting.
This policy severely damages the public interest and in fact makes the Federal government a secret criminal co-conspirator, and the practice must be stopped, hopefully by a new administration, because the Bush Team will probably never change.
