Details of Bryant projects released
Enjoyed reading this line:
"Shortly before the documents were released, Codey said they should be made public.
I think the public will see, as they scrutinize these lists, that this money helped support many good causes," he said in a statement."
It's a shame Codey didn't think these lists and this "Mac" fund should be made public BEFORE the People found out about it. And NOW he makes a statement? But then again, "E-mails show that Codey had a key say in how much money some programs received." Like that power don't you Codey?
And good causes? Yea, good causes for Bryant and his family.
"Most of the $4 million that Bryant controlled from a now-defunct grant program that had little meaningful oversight went to South Jersey causes, including at least $1 million to Lawnside, where his brother was mayor and the former state senator resides."
"The papers show that Treasury officials knew of the familial connections for at least one of Bryant's grants. One form includes a notation "Wayne's brother" by a $200,000 award to Camcare Health Corp., where his brother, Mark, is president."

Details of Bryant projects released
N.J. Treasury opens records of the former senator's influence. Other politicians also had control of money.

Inquirer Trenton Bureau
Former Camden County Sen. Wayne Bryant, now on trial on allegations that he traded his influence over the state budget in exchange for a pension-boosting, low-show job at a medical school, steered taxpayer money to a wide range of causes in South and North Jersey, Treasury documents released late yesterday show.
Some unelected staffers for other officials also appear to have had influence...
