New Jersey State Senator Wayne Bryant
To Bryant, Corzine wasn't on the money:
One of the legislators who objected to Gov. Corzine's inaugural lecture on ethics last week was State Sen. Wayne Bryant (D-Camden).
With several government contracts and relatives in publicly funded jobs, Bryant is no stranger to the political spending Corzine wants to target.
A $38 million local-assistance fund tucked into the budget last month is the latest example of Bryant's prowess. He is chairman of the budget committee that has final say over the grants. They included $250,000 to renovate the Wayne Bryant Community Center in Lawnside, where his brother Mark is mayor. An additional $200,000 will help open a Paulsboro satellite facility of CAMcare, the federally funded health center that Mark Bryant heads.
The Camden Redevelopment Agency, where Bryant's law firm has contracts for legal work, got $225,000 to hire two public-relations officials. Rutgers University-Camden got $100,000 and the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Stratford $200,000 for programs; Bryant has part-time jobs at each.
