NJ Board of Public Utilities cronycrats raid alt-energy fund.
Sigh...



According to the audit, officials in the board's Office of Clean Energy skirted contracting rules and hired close associates and former colleagues. They also ignored proper grant-making procedures, gave out grants of questionable merit and in at least two cases funded projects tied to neighbors of the BPU staff member in charge of evaluating grant proposals, the auditors reported in the stinging 30-page memo.

1. Why can't they call it like it is?
"...looking shady..."

"...the appearance of cronyism."
