River Vale NJ, State Senator Holly Schepisi Blasts Pandemic Bonuses for Politically Connected Bergen County Government Workers. In a Facebook post Schepisi said,
“While I am not opposed to bonuses for those on the front lines who worked night and day oftentimes for 7 days a week through the pandemic I have real issue with an additional round of bonuses to politically connected Bergen County government workers getting a greater payout just in bonuses than many people made in total last year. Many times that my own office reached out to the County for answers or guidance we were told that we couldn’t get a reply as a result of the offices being “closed”. Why is a second round of these payments being made?”
