Ridgewood NJ, Gov. Phil Murphy plans to nominate Fair Share Housing Center Executive Director Kevin Walsh , one of New Jersey’s leading affordable housing advocates, as the state’s next comptroller — a move that could rejuvenate efforts to force high density housing on taxpayers under the guise of affordable housing.
The independent office of comptroller is a government watchdog.
Murphy plans to announce the nomination on Thursday, the governor’s office said. While the nomination is subject to Senate confirmation, Walsh would be able to take over as acting comptroller until lawmakers take action on his nomination to the six-year term that started this month.
While senior Murphy administration officials claim they see Walsh, who is executive director of the Fair Share Housing Center, as someone who will fit the mold of a Matt Boxer, who served as the state’s first modern comptroller and set an aggressive tone for the office. Aggressive tone meaning more court ordered taxpayer funding of left wing social agenda.
“Fair Share”… Communist-speak for f*ck the “rich”
