Here is a longer story by NJ’s Chad Livengood:
DeLuca also proposed legislation that would require all lawmakers and statewide elected officials to disclose all income earned in the public and private sector, when and if they had their pay docked for time missed for serving in the Legislature and documented time records.
Under DeLuca’s Senate Bill 4, the 62 members of the General Assembly and the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor, treasurer and insurance commissioner would have to file financial disclosure reports on the 15th of each month with the Public Integrity Commission showing:
All income earned outside their elected office.
Disclosure of whether an official’s outside pay was reduced on days they were performing their duties or a written declaration that their pay was not cut on those days.
Documented time records showing the hours an official worked at an outside job on session days or other days while performing their official duties.
I don’t know about you but this feels a bit like a cop-out. DeLuca thinks people are picking on him so he wants all work records released. Plus, he played games with the NJ by letting all media outlets but them look at the records.
What do you think? Does this go far enough for transparency?
