For Immediate Release:
A New Jersey Watchdog reporter has won the latest round in a three-year battle for public records surrounding the state's hush-hush investigation of an alleged pension scheme implicating Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
Administrative Law Judge Linda M. Kassekert ordered the state Treasury to release 25 of 26 documents the Christie Administration has fought hard to keep secret. The parties have a Feb. 11 deadline to appeal the decision.
Guadagno would become acting governor of New Jersey if an embattled Gov. Chris Christie does not serve his full term.
The controversy focuses on an alleged pension scheme and false statements by Guadagno when she was Monmouth County sheriff.
Treasury officials gathered the documents during an inquiry of whether Guadagno's chief officer, Michael W. Donovan Jr., improperly collected nearly $85,000 a year in state retirement pay in addition to his $87,500 annual salary.
