DeFilippo indictment coming?



Union County Dem chair Charlotte DeFilippo.


A little bird whispered to me yesterday that an indictment may soon be due in the investigation of Union County Democratic Committee chairman Charlotte DeFilippo.

The investigation into the chairman's dealings -- she is Executive Director of the Union County Improvement Authority and part-owner of a title company -- was launched by Attorney General Anne Milgram last November (see more here).

I think the little bird has got it wrong. Though I worry that the state might just do a whitewash, it does seem that just four months would be kind of rushing it, given the web of activities and entities that Charlotte sits in the middle of.

At least, the rumor signifies that the investigation hasn't been totally forgotten about.

Much more on the mark, I suspect, was the word that Union County muckety-mucks are peeved with Plainfield Dem chairperson (and Assemblyman) Jerry Green for the fact that Plainfield went solidly for Obama in the presidential primary, when Dem machines everywhere have quietly backed Billary.

Just one more thing to leave the poor Assemblyman in bad odour.

I agree there will be a white wash and when will Chris Christy start his own investigation not only of DeFilippo but also Jerry Green and others in Union County.

Maybe the Union County Muckety Mucks will get the clue that Plainfield does not back Jerry Green. Maybe the Union County Muckety Mucks should take a look at what a disaster he is in working with Plainfield issues, and get someone who has some business sense and the good of Plainfield at heart into a position to help Plainfield.
