“People believe in his leadership, he’s had an unbelievable record of achievement as Bergen County Chairman.”

Bergen County Democratic Spokesman - Aug 8, 2008

WOW, WHAT AN UNDERSTATEMENT  !!!!!!

FERRIERO, HIS COHORTS, AND ALL HIS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTORS ARE GETTING FILTHY RICH OFF OF OUR TAX DOLLARS

"Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero has collected more than $195,000 in a private fund from donors — including county contractors and public employees"

"The fund — which is not subject to state campaign disclosure laws because Ferriero is not a publicly elected official — collected tens of thousands in unlimited donations from some of the county’s and state’s biggest professional contractors."

As reported, one of the Ferriero's top donors is Ferraioli, Wielkotz.  If this name looks familiar, it should.  It is very same Wielkotz who was the former auditor in Dumont.  By the way, isn't this the same guy who is Ferriero's personal accountant?  

"The fund dispersed thousands to politically connected consultants and businesses, as well as $50,000 to the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City for a party last November.  Food and drink were also popular expenditures. The Stony Hill Inn, a favorite Democratic haunt in Hackensack, received more than $6,000 from the fund. Sanzari’s New Bridge Inn was paid more than $1,000, Carvel Ice Cream $750, and Kork and Keg Liquors more than $1,600".

But wait a minute - look at this ...

"Ferriero filed four years of disclosure records within a single week in July — a period that coincided with a flurry of federal subpoenas by the U.S Attorney’s Office, seeking information in part on a defunct grants consulting firm in which he was a partner.

At least 15 Bergen County towns and several agencies have received subpoenas, requesting financial and contract information relating to Ferriero and a firm he shared with the lawyer for the Bergen County Democrats, Dennis Oury, among others."
