GOP not backing up Cardinale on Boxer strategy

State Sen. Gerald Cardinale’s move to hold up the nomination of Matthew Boxer as New Jersey’s State Comptroller might be considered a good political move by Republicans interesting in keeping Gov. Jon Corzine’s ties to his former girlfriend in the news, but his colleagues in the Senate minority aren’t rushing to help him out.

Cardinale’s idea is to tie up the nomination of Boxer for the newly created office until Corzine appoints an independent prosecutor to look into the matter of Rocco Riccio, a brother-in-law of Corzine’s ex-girlfriend/paramour/companion Carla Katz, who he gave $15,000 after pressuring him out of his accounting job at the Turnpike Authority. Boxer was reportedly present at a meeting in which Riccio was asked to leave his job.

Is Bob Mulchay a Robert Moses wannabee?

Sometimes you have to wonder if Bob Mulcahy realizes someone else is the Governor.  Just as Jon Corzine’s state comptroller, Matthew Boxer, launches a probe of Rutgers University’s sports spending – spurred by published reports of a seemingly secret deal to get football coach Greg Schiano an extra $250,000 -- the Rutgers Athletic Director decided to form his own investigation team.  Mulcahy has tapped two old men who seem to show up every time someone needs a blue ribbon panel: former PSE&G CEO Al Koeppe and Albert Gamper, the former CIT Chairman.  Apparently the state comptroller and the State Commission of Investigation aren’t enough for Mulcahy and Rutgers President Richard McCormick.
