Senator Donald Norcross released this statement in response to the DRPA’s announced reform agenda this morning:

"We must acknowledge that what is going on at the DRPA is just part of a culture of fraud and abuse across the state.

The Government Reality Check Act is the first real step required to reform this culture, which has allowed perks and privileges supported on the back of taxpayers. Only by bringing consistency, transparency, and accountability to all of New Jersey’s many authorities, commissions, local and state offices can we truly hope to prevent and erase the practices that put private interests above the public good.

We cannot defeat this problem piecemeal. We need to confront it head on -- at every level of government across the entire state. The Government Reality Check Act achieves this goal.

Join me in making a real difference for all New Jersey taxpayers by supporting the Government Reality Check Act."
