Democrats call for cancellation of state contracts awarded to donors of GOP's Reform Jersey Now

Democrats call for cancellation of state contracts awarded to donors of GOP's Reform Jersey Now

Five contractors and a law firm that contributed $117,500, got over $30.6 million in contracts

Democratic legislative leaders Thursday called for the cancellation of all state contracts awarded to contributors of Reform Jersey Now, after the group's disclosure Wednesday that it had received tens of thousands of dollars in contributions from firms that went on to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in state funds.
