ASSEMBLY REPUBLICAN LEADER ALEX DeCROCE

DeCROCE STATEMENT ON DECISION BY THE
U.S. ATTORNEY REGARDING BRYANT INVESTIGATION

Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce release the following statement in response to a letter issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office saying it had not objection to an investigation into the conduct of state Sen. Wayne Bryant, D-Camden, by the Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards:

"The ethics committee has a lot of work to do. Let's get to it. The committee should reconvene as soon as possible and begin an immediate inquiry into the Bryant matter."

The Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards on Monday asked U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie if the panel's investigation of Bryant might interfere with any investigations being carried out by Christie's office.

According to the Associated Press, in a two-sentence letter issued Friday, Christie said he had no objection.
