No Suit, After All.
Today we learned that Golan Cipel, Governor McGreevey’s alleged former boyfriend, has announced through his attorney that he will not file the sexual harassment lawsuit that had been threatened and which presumably played a part in Governor McGreevey’s decision to resign. Frankly, I am not surprised that Cipel, who claimed to be heterosexual, decided not to go down that long and nasty road.
I am, however, curious to see what happens with the federal investigation of the Governor’s claim of extortion. My guess is that it will die on the vine, as it quite possibly should, because this entire mess appears to be little more than a pissing contest between former lovers.
Meanwhile, the Governor remains in office, and there are no signs that he has any plans to leave before September 3rd, the date after which we lose our right to elect a governor to serve for the next fourteen months.
…and the beat goes on.
I got a letter from Jim McG in the mail today. In response to a letter I sent two months ago protesting the Environmental Fast-Tracking law which passed EVERYTHING in three seconds flat. He sympathized with my position and passed off responsibility to the “Commissioner, Susan Bass Levin.” Do I need to mention the letter had two typos, and claimed that the McGreevey administration has “made New Jersey a leader in . . . environmental protection . . .”????? Ack. My blood pressure is reaching the safety limit.
