HOBOKEN – Gov. Chris Christie has begun “removal proceedings against two members of the Wanaque-based North Jersey District Water Supply Commission,” including former Hoboken 5th Ward Councilman Michael Cricco, according to NewJerseyNewsroom.com.
Last Wednesday, Christie sent letters notifying NJDWSC Commissioners Albert Manzo and Michael Cricco that he’d start removal proceedings against them “for cause,” according to the story. He also took steps to suspend them without pay.
Incidentally, Manzo, who lives in Franklin Lakes, happens to be the same Albert Manzo who is featured on the show “Real Housewives of New Jersey” (and his sons live in Hoboken, where they may soon become the stars of their own reality show).
According to the newspaper story, Christie alleges that Cricco attended commission meetings “on at least 20 occasions when he should have been at his paid job with the state” and continued to do so even after being notified by the School Development Authority.
Calls to Cricco for comment on Friday and Monday were not returned.
