>Appointment of Robbert O’Malley to Land use Authority calls in to question Village Managers Judgement
Ridgewood NJ – It’s scary to think that you can be indicted by a federal grand jury for fraud, then be promoted to a civic leadership post. On top of that, Mayor Gabbert aka Ridgewood Village Administrator, is okay with this. Seriously, is this the kind of decision making we want in Ridgewood? Does anyone else in Ridgewood even question these types of actions by the guy tasked to run the day to day operations of Ridgewood. Are there no more ethical boundary lines in this state?
I would hope somebody such as our mayor, or someone from the village council asks Mr Gabbert why he is comfortable supporting a person indicted on 68, yes 68 counts of fraud to a substantial decision making board?
“O’Malley, 47, was indicted in August on 68 counts of fraud and other federal crimes. Prosecutors say O’Malley falsified mortgage applications at his private business, Residential Mortgage Corp. of Ridgewood, and used improvement authority workers to confirm the falsified applications when lenders called.”
It’s a serious and important question for someone who makes the same decisions in Ridgewood.
