DeCroce, Codey won't take lie detector tests
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterThe Star-Ledger won’t be administering a polygraph test any time soon.
Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce had said that he would take a lie detector test to verify his account of an argument in which he alleged that Senate President Dick Codey tried to warn him off of pursuing details about a legislative slush fund through a mix of threats and temptations with state funds.
But since Codey has refused to take the test, DeCroce told the paper that he would not agree to take it either.
Codey, asked to comment during a conference call in support of Congressional Candidate Dennis Shulman, said DeCroce was gong back on his promise.
“Mr. DeCroce made an accusation and he said he would take a lie detector test to back it up. I never said any such thing, so obviously the ball is in his court and he has decided not to play,” said Codey. “ Simple as that. So I think that speaks volumes in terms of his credibility versus mine.”

What seemed like a semi-funny stunt
a week ago is just now plain old and tired all around. Codey One DeCroce and the Ledger -Zero!
Credibility?
Codey's credibility? Consider that Codey's Governor's Office unquestionably controlled State homeland security grant funds in FY 2005 (another of the many slush funds created by McGreevey and Codey) and Codey has never admitted it or set the record straight. Codey's administration's last comments on that slush fund were in the Ledger on July 13, 2005: "'Politics do not enter into the equation,' said spokesman Sean Darcey. 'No one takes New Jersey's homeland security more seriously and personally than Governor Codey.'" Codey sat quietly by and never admitted what his role was or corrected his spokeman's "misstatement." There was a bogus application process for state homeland security grants that wasted the time of police chiefs thorughout the State and Codey's staff - not professional homeland security staff - awarded grants based on politics, not merit. Codey has ZERO credibility on the slush funds he helped create and that got two of his colleagues indicted. ZERO.
