When laws are broken in the real world there are often consequences. But when it is Union County ignoring New Jersey’s Local Public Contracts Law what we get is an attempt to make what is blatantly wrong perfectly legal, as per the nj.com article.
And more recently, another bill appeared to be written specifically for Union County would similarly make legal the agreements already negotiated by the county’s improvement authority. The legislation, S-2841, would give a pass on bidding requirements for any projects considered “in the two years immediately preceding the effective date of the bill.”
One concerned citizen’s reaction to today’s ruling:
July 1, 2022
Dear Commissioner Granados,
In light of today’s final judicial ruling stating Union County acted illegally and inappropriately by not properly bidding the Government Complex project through the UCIA and in accordance to public bidding laws, it is imperative that the County Commissioners take immediate action to remove and terminate the grossly negligent individuals responsible for this incredible waste of taxpayer money. As you know well, Ms. Bibi Taylor has profited greatly from this project by way of significant salary increases, UCIA stipends, questionable campaign contributions and lucrative contracts to her long-time friends. Enough of this disgraceful conduct and misuse of our precious government resources. Ms. Taylor is not a resident or taxpayer of Union County and must be removed immediately from all of her duties. In addition, County Manager Edward Oatman, also not a resident or taxpayer of Union County, has disgraced the Commissioner Board by advising the Dobco lawsuit was nothing but “sour grapes” and the County would “prevail” thus leading the Board to continue having confidence in his leadership. That leadership has now been fully exposed as complete and ignorant incompetence and arrogance.
I urge you to put forward a motion to remove Ms. Taylor and Mr. Oatman immediately from the County of Union as they are not fit to serve the taxpayers or the Commissioners.
Please show true leadership and take immediate action. This ruling is a wake-up call and complete outrage to all of us who live, work and pay taxes in Union County.
Thank you.
Mrs. Carolyn Brink

I would just add that they should also be banned from the County of Union for eternity.
