Well I just saw this in polickernj and had to smile: a friend of GA's, Fireman Bill Brennan, is in the news and stirring the pot again.
Brennan is a hoot.
A citizen activist, he rants, raves all for the public good, sticking it to the powerful and connected who line their pockets with our cash. Bill's on a one-man jihad in New Jersey to root out corruption. Lotsa luck with that, fella!
Bless him for trying.
GA did the graphics for his latest show, The New Jersey Civil Circus, which starts airing this Thursday on Cablevision at 10:30 in Bergen and will be up on the web shortly after (I'll update w/a link).
These are some images he didn't use:
He did use this one...
and this one...
among others.
This episode is about... you guessed it: Assemblyman Scott Rumana, who Brennan excoriates for suckling like a starving piglet off the Wayne NJ taxpayers' teat. It's quite a story, you'll see.
But I digress...
So when I read today's politickernj I couldn't help but smile: Brennan, a Democratic candidate for Assembly in the 40th District has refused to file his 2009 ELECs as an act of "civil disobedience" after he heard ELEC's decision to give gubernatorial candidate Steve Lonegan $2.8 million in matching funds. Brennan thinks the ELEC award was taxpayer theft.
Jeez, what BALLS.
He will 'pay the price' for his civil disobedience.
While I don't endorse his actions, there aren't many around who have the courage of their convictions. Very few, in fact. People are bought and sold all the time, by those with wealth or access to power.
Need I say more?

Brennan thinks the ELEC award was taxpayer theft.
Brennan said he has already responded to the complaint, telling ELEC he had no intention of filing the reports.
"As I have repeatedly informed your staff in 2009,” he said he told the agency. “NJELEC allowed Lonegan to flagrantly violate State Election Law. My refusal to file in 2009 is an act of civil disobedience intended to expose hypocrisy."
He won’t file, he said, until Lonegan gives back the money.
“I have filed in every year except the year that Lonegan stole from the public treasury and nothing short of the NJ Supreme Court will get me to file for 2009 unless Lonegan GIVES BACK THE MONEY HE STOLE!,” Brennan said in the same email.
Jeez, what BALLS.

He should file the ELEC report. It is not civil disobedience, he is flouting the law. That said I like his work exposing corruption. Maybe he'll investigate the 4th Ward next.
