Where are they now?
By Wally EdgeIsabel Miranda, who spent four days as New Jersey State Treasurer in 2001, is now practicing law at Gluck Walrath, a politically connected Trenton firm. Miranda was nominated by Governor Donald DiFrancesco on Monday, March 19 and started work on Friday, March 23. On Monday morning, New York Times reporter David Halbfinger broke the story that Miranda had been fired "from a high-level job at Citibank after internal auditors confronted her with evidence indicating that she had used her expense account to pay for thousands of dollars in personal travel while having an extramarital affair with a co-worker in California, according to current and former employees of the bank." With DiFrancesco in the midst of his own scandal that ultimately forced him to end his gubernatorial campaugn, Miranda resigned on March 28.
Among her colleagues at Gluck Walrath are: Michael Gluck, a prominent Republican and son of lobbyist Hazel Gluck; and Fair Haven Councilman Christopher Walrath.

Thanks for reminding us of this. Republican DiFrancesco appointed someone with ethical problems, then had to give up his bid for Governor because of his own ethical cloud.
Then the Republican controlled legislature went and changed the date of the primary so that DiFrancesco could come off the ballot and Bob Franks could come on.
When Republicans whine about McGreevey, they really need to be careful of their own history.

I love watching the State of the State and seeing the murderer's row of Donnie D, John Bennett, and Jim Florio sitting there smiling.
Someday McGreevey will be sitting next to them and the Fab Four will be complete.

You forgot to mention that Miranda was appointed to the UMDNJ board at DiFrancesco's request. That way Donnie could do one-stop shopping for special favors from Chip Stapleton and Isabella.

I can't believe that Miranda continues to be a cancer to NJ. How is it that these types of people continue to get big jobs when they should be in jail. What I can't understand is that a person who appears to have violated ethics, perhaps used corperation monies for her own good (according to the NY Times), ran UMDNJ into the ground moves around to all the different connected law firms. Perhaps she still needs practice to get it right!
