Hamlet Goore and Zulima Farber?????...............
And what about the bedmate of the last looney governor----his name was Golan Cipel.
One of the Philly papers used the Shriners' tune "Oh Dem Golden Slippers" to pay homage to Golan, entitled
----"Oh Dem Golan Cipels."
It happens all of the time there!
I was privy to a meeting recently with a TelCo bigwig in which a junior company officer explained that "after Katrina, New Jersey is the only state left that we still have to pay cash bribes to state bureaucrats to get permits for cell towers."
......The man at the center of the controversy has a spotty record as an attorney and as a businessman, as well as a driver. The New Jersey Supreme Court twice reprimanded Goore for failing to properly represent his legal clients and for filing false records with the court......
Here's the complete list of how Goober shows "respect" for the law:
(1) As an attorney, Goore was reprimanded twice by the NJ Supreme Court for failing to properly represent legal clients;
(2) Goore was reprimanded by the New Jersey Supreme Court for filing false records with the court.
(3) Two companies founded by Goore were shut down by the NJ state treasurer for failure to pay corporate taxes.
(4) Goore’s driving record includes 11 suspensions, 3 speeding violations, ignored tickets and accidents.
(5) The IRS filed dozens of liens against Goore’s property for failing to pay income tax owed between 1981 and 1998.
(6) Goore filed for bankruptcy protection in 2003 because he could not pay the Internal Revenue Service more than $1.4 million.
(7) Goore could not pay the state of New Jersey $20,000 in back income taxes.
Interesting, to be sure----but not surprising.
"(7) Goore could not pay the state of New Jersey $20,000 in back income taxes."
So this Liz is why Corzine raised the sales tax and shut down the casinos.....no wonder that Gov. head 'Rat is a little p.o.'ed at Zu Far and her Goorey boy. Gotta pay those NJ extort taxes or face the goons squad in Da House of Rats.
I'm a West Coaster and really don't follow East Coast state news.....but that name is a real doozy.
"Oh, dem Golan Cipels...etc"
Laughed my butt off!
Her previous experience in state government includes serving as Public Defender and Public Advocate from 1992 to 1994 in the cabinet of Governor James J. Florio. She also served as Assistant Counsel to Governor Brendan T. Byrne from 1978 to 1981.
Farber is a member, and former chairperson, of the New Jersey State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. She also serves on the New Jersey Commission to Review Criminal Sentencing.
During the gubernatorial transition, she served as co-chair of Governor Corzine's Ethics Advisory Group, a bipartisan group principally charged with implementing the Governor's ethics agenda.
She cannot be removed from office, except for cause or by impeachment during her term.
During her nomination proceedings, Senator Gerald Cardinale, a Republican from Bergen County, directed some of the most pointed queries at Ms. Farber. "Can you tell me how many times you've gotten speeding tickets or is it an isolated incident?" Mr. Cardinale asked. Ms. Farber apologized for her driving history but offered no specifics. "I know very well I have had some personal difficulties with driving,"..."And I thank the governor for giving me a job with a driver." Mr. Cardinale asked Ms. Farber about the bench warrants; state records show warrants were issued against her in 1996 and 2003.
Mr. Cardinale, one of two Republicans to oppose Ms. Farber's nomination, said that he was concerned about the state appointing someone who had been repeatedly accused of breaking traffic laws as its top law enforcement official. "Your record taken in its totality does not support the notion that you have respect for the law," he said. Later, he said that approving Ms. Farber's nomination might send a message "to young people, to the whole population of the state of New Jersey, that it's O.K. to offend the law repeatedly time after time. To have bench warrants issued for your arrest is not an impediment. I cannot bring myself to vote for you."
Ms. Farber, said she opposed the use of deadly force to protect property and the use of mandatory minimum sentences, which she said takes away discretion from judges. She also promised to vigorously pursue allegations of public corruption. Along with Commissioner of Education Rosenberg, she has promised to root out wasted spending, and corruption that leaves schools with less money.
Farber telephoned several Democrats recently to shore up support, according to two Democratic legislative leaders.
The man at the center of the controversy has a spotty record as an attorney and as a businessman, as well as a driver.
The New Jersey Supreme Court twice reprimanded Goore for failing to properly represent his legal clients and for filing false records with the court.
The state treasurer shuttered two companies Goore founded for failure to pay corporate taxes. And the federal government filed dozens of liens against his property for failing to pay income tax owed between 1981 and 1998.
Goore serves as acting commissioner of the Department of Community Development and Planning
In 1979, Goore incorporated the first of seven business he would open or have a stake in, records show. The state closed Legal Action Workshop Data Center Inc. four years later after it failed to pay taxes. Electromec Design and Manufacture Inc., which Goore started in 1983, also was closed for failing to pay business taxes.
Goore and his wife, Joyce, divorced in 1982 after having three children, said Joyce Goore, now an East Orange councilwoman. Their son Darius served as a spokesman for then-U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine in Washington, D.C.
Goore operated a private law practice that handled personal injury cases, bankruptcies, real estate and matrimonial issues.
He received two reprimands from the state Supreme Court based on 17 complaints.
In 1992, the court found that Goore had engaged in a pattern of neglect, based on complaints dating as far back as 1981 that included pocketing $100 given to him by a client to pay a doctor; waiting two years after closing to satisfy a mortgage; and neglecting some cases altogether.
In 1995, Goore was reprimanded for filing false reports understating fees he had charged clients he represented in bankruptcy court, to avoid having the fees reduced by the court.
Goore admitted to some allegations, blaming poor recordkeeping, and denied others. His attorney also claimed that during the time most of the complaints were filed, Goore was undergoing therapy for a stress-related disorder stemming from his work environment and post-marital problems.
In 1995, Goore took a job as human resource manager at A&M Industrial Supply, a construction supply company in Rahway, where he stayed until 2004, when he was asked by Mayor Wayne Smith to work for Irvington.
this dispute comes on the heels of Farber's efforts to protect the pensions of corrupt politicians. During recent Statehouse hearings to consider tougher penalties for public corruption, Farber suggested, among other things, that veteran legislators who serve honestly for years shouldn't lose pension benefits for crimes committed late in their careers
Hey, it's the perks that come with seniority. /s
Zulima Farber, Jon Corzine and the Future of New Jersey
January 22, 2005 | ZULU
Posted on 01/22/2006 7:27:40 PM PST by ZULU
Last week, the new governor-elect Jon Corzine, was busy at work putting together the members of his new cabinet.
Nothing he did signifies more the kind of radical left-wing agenda this elitist millionaire has in store for the deluded voters of New Jersey than the nomination - or rather cornonation - of Zulima Farber as his State Attorney General.
According to the New Jersey Star-Ledger, Ms. Zulima, a one-time refugee from Castro's slave camp in the Carribean, learned little from her negative experiences there. If anything, she may have been taking notes. Ms. Farber is an outspoken supporter of strict gun laws while having a record of being soft on those who actually use guns to commit crimes. She apparently feels that removing guns will eliminate crime. She also supports abortion, is soft on immigration laws, and opposes mandatory sentencing. I guess she would rather leave the punishment of criminals up to the likes of a judge in New Hampshire who imposed a 60 day jail sentence on a fiend who raped a young child for a four year period.
According to the Ledger, Ms. Farber recently sat on a state commission which supports relaxing mandatory sentencing of drug dealers - one of the factors for the recent decrease in crime in the Garbage - er, Garden State.
Yet it gets even better.
Despite the feelings of the judge, community, local prosecutors and police, who felt a mandatory sentence of 30 years for a respected teacher who allegedly abducted and beat a man whom he suspected of breaking into his home in 1975, even after the alleged victim admitted he was in error and the teacher's cousin confessed to the crime, Ms. Farber was convinced beyond a doubt the teacher was guilty - in a memo she wrote on the case.
The teacher's conviction was eventually overturned by a federal judge.
While State Public Advocate and Public defender, Farber fired an attorney who dared to criticize a judge and not apologize, and another employee who was accused of - and denied - sexual contact with an inmate.
Ms. Farber's driver license was suspended three times over a 25 year period. Former Governor McGreevey refused to consider her for the State Supreme Court in 2003, citing a bench warrent issued on her for failing to pay a speeding ticket.
Yet Jon COrzine feels she will make a great Attorney General.
All of the above was revealed in an article in this Sunday's Star Ledger for which Ms. Farber refused to be interviewed. Tomorrow she will face a light grilling by the remnant of Republicans in Trenton, lead by Mr. Kyrillos, former head of the Stat Republican Party when the Republicans were swept from State Offices in Trenton.
Given Mr. Kyrillos prior manifest ineptitude as a State Republican Chairman, and the tiny remnant of Republicans left floundering in Trenton, I suspect Ms. Farber has little to fear.
But the presence of such an extreme left-wing renagade in the inner circle of the radical Democrat now sitting ensconced in the Governor's Office in Trenton should give the people of New Jersey cause for extreme unease - and - without a doubt - regret - in the future.
Conservative New Jerseyians - do as I did years ago - LEAVE.
New Jersey has become another one of the Five Boroughs of New York City. Even the politicians in Albany are SOMEWHAT curtailed by the up-state vote.
The flood of refugees from the Five Boroughs has swept over the once fair state of New Jersey like a plague of invading Huns - and they have brought their discredited political philosophies with them - philosophies which helped place Jon Corzine and Zulima Farber in positions of power over there.

Farber alerted pal at MVC to say boyfriend needed van registered
After leaving a Fairview traffic checkpoint where police had stopped her boyfriend, Attorney General Zulima Farber telephoned the manager of the Motor Vehicle Commission office in Elizabeth.
Farber said she wanted to tell him that her boyfriend, Hamlet E. Goore Jr., would be dropping by to rectify a problem with his driver's license and renew his car registration.
"I called my friend Angel Estrada," Farber said Saturday. "I wanted to tell him that Hamlet was trying to get in touch with him."

...... Ms. Zulima, a one-time refugee from Castro's slave camp in the Carribean.......
Has anybody ever seen her citizenship papers?
Goore could not pay the state of New Jersey $20,000 in back income taxes........So this is why Corzine raised the sales tax and shut down the casinos.....
Good point------these gov't parasites are always dreaming up ways to leech off taxpayers.
THIS MUST BE THE "CULTURE OF CORRUPTION" NANCY PELOSI IS TALKING ABOUT!!! But since it's a DEMOCRAT they circle the wagon.
Tom DeLay would be the 'first in line to hold himself accountable' if he did anything wrong (nay that wouldn't work). It only works for DEMOCRATS.
******
Rick Thigpen, a Democratic strategist and Farber friend, said Farber would be "the first in line to hold herself accountable" if she did anything wrong. Her reputation, he said, has been prematurely and "perhaps unfairly called into question."
"I think it's indicative of the current climate in Trenton, where there's a quick suspicion that where there's smoke, there's really fire," he said.
Corzine, who has largely distanced himself from the matter, agreed that talk about Farber's involvement in the traffic stop was "highly speculative."
"I don't even know what the facts are. It's not right for me to be judge and jury," he said.
Sorry if this sounds a bit tacky but Zulima reminds me of a hotel housekeeper coming to clean up the room. Extra towels please......por favor mi amiga, mas toallas....
Do you need 'citizenship papers' if you register as a DEMOCRAT?!
according to court records, the detective who wrote the tickets later requested that they be voided because of "incorrect information"
THIS MUST BE THE "CULTURE OF CORRUPTION" NANCY PELOSI IS TALKING ABOUT!!!
ROTFL------maybe Goomlet---like Cong Jefferson---got an email from Nigerigian General Kachinga Cheatchusuckah about a secret Ugandan gold stash in a Swiss bank belonging to Idi Amin.
Goore, a nonpracticing lawyer
Robert Del Tufo, a Democrat and former attorney general who sat with Farber on Corzine's ethics advisory panel, said that he had "every confidence in Zulima" -- and that she would be vindicated.
