Farber Cconfirmation Hearing for State Attorney General
Dynamobuzz - Governor Corzine: The First Week
Her [Zulima Farber] confirmation hearing was yesterday, and the senate committee questioned her for about four hours before her nomination was approved with only two "no" votes (Republicans Cardinale and Kyrillos voted "no").
Many have observed that Ms. Farber does not have much criminal experience on her resume. Given the rampant corruption in this state and the abysmal performance by her predecessor, Corzine should have picked a tough, no nonsense law and order type with a background in criminal prosecution experience.
Farber has mostly been a corporate lawyer though she did work in the Byrne administration and had a short stint in the Bergen County prosecutor’s office. Of even more concern for New Jerseyans should be her liberal political beliefs, like being against minimum sentencing, the death penalty and such. She was the state public advocate, a job that uses state tax dollars to sue the state. Hey, Corzine is a liberal and he gets to pick as many liberals as he wants for state office. Too late for NJ residents to complain.
