Molina is accused of dismissing eight parking tickets for a female companion. She stepped down last year during the intial investigation over ticket fixing, which netted half of Jersey City’s municipal judges.

Also indicted as Virginia Pagan, a former court administrator who allegedly fixed 215 parking tickets for herself and her daughter.

Congratulations to Newark City Councilwoman Dana Rone, who has emerged as the early front runner for the 2008 Zulima Farber Award. She seems to be running ahead of Annette Lartigue, a City Councilwoman from Trenton, and former Jersey City Municipal Court Judge Wanda Molina.

And newly-elected Orange Mayor Eldridge Hawkins, Jr. is now a candidate for the 2008 Oink! Oink! Wayne Bryant Award – a category that always has considerable competition in New Jersey.

    Hold Me Accountable: Maurice Gallipoli?

    So far, four out of ten Jersey City Municipal Court Judges have departed as part of a growing ticket fixing scandal.  Judge Victor Sisone took a leave of absence yesterday, joining Chief Judge Wanda Molina and two others.

    While the Mayor of Jersey City appoints local Judges, with the advise and consent of the City Council, Municipal Court Judges are supervised by the Superior Court Assignment Judge.  It might be interesting to see if Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, the state Judiciary Boss, will hold the Assignnment Judge, Maurice Gallipoli, accountable for a scandal that happened on his watch.
