Issue Position: Ethics & Accountability

Issue Position

Fiscal accountability and maintaining ethical conduct in state government is critical in maintaining the trust of the residents of New Jersey. Assemblyman DeAngelo has sought to instill such accountability by:

*Creating a law that requires greater transparency and accountability at independent authorities that spend taxpayer dollars.
*Reducing the timeframe within which a recall election petition can occur and adjusting the number of signatures required to trigger a recall election.
*Requiring local Superintendent of Schools to annually report to Boards of Education on expiring contracts in order to ensure proper transparency.
*Limiting the use of an elected official's campaign funds for purposes of legal defense fund.
