: : I saw a list of jersey city council and family with the county jobs. Does anybody have a copy of that? : 20. There are presently at least three councilmen that have significant County level : jobs. It is known that at least one other councilperson has close family members who have : County level jobs. The President of the Council was just recommended by the defendant for a : high level County position. For all such councilmen, the continuation of such jobs can be greatly : influenced, either positively or negatively, by the office of the Chief of Staff. : 21. As part of his statutory/regulatory duties, the Chief of Staff is required to : interview and recommend appointees to the County Executive. (Exhibit A Section 3.7.1(c)). In : November of 2003, he was required to make recommendations to the County Executive for : appointments to various positions at the County departments and commissions. This included : making job recommendations for fellow members of the Council. : 22. Councilman Mariano Vega holds a job as the Director of Hudson County Public : Resources Department. The salary for that job is approximately $90,000.00. : 23. Councilman Junior Maldonado has a job at the Hudson County Improvement : Authority. That job has a salary of approximately $80,000.00 per year. : 24. Councilman Peter Brennan has a $65,000.00 job in the Hudson County : Maintenance Department. : 25. Councilwoman Donnelly's daughter-in-law is employed by Hudson County. : 26. In January of 2004, the defendant just recommended Council President Smith to : the job as Hudson County Under-Sheriff. Council President Smith has no known law : enforcement experience. : 27. As the result of the position of power Councilman Gaughan now holds as Chief of : Staff to the Hudson County Executive, he has created additional incompatibility, as there is now : the appearance that the defendant may be able to exercise influence over fellow : councilmen/councilwomen, as he is their actual or de facto, "boss" at their principal places of : employment. : 28. Such a position of power within the City Council is harmful to the citizens of : Jersey City. Citizens should expect that their elected representatives can freely debate and vote : upon issues, without the fear of influence or retribution from another councilmember. One : councilmember should not be permitted to promote his own political or personal agenda as a : result of his holding a superior office. :::::can anyone tell me how to reach gaughan's paid aide, his daughter Bridgette? Phone number, office address, hours of availability?
