Told you so, part II

About a week ago, Art Gallagher at MoreMonmouthMusing plugged THE STATE (Thanks Art!). Part of that plug cited our About Us page, where we contended that Art Gallagher was driving the agenda at the Asbury Park Press.

Now, because we pay attention to detail, we caught MoreMonmouthMusings breaking the news on former NJ Assemblyman Mike Panter soliciting tax appeal work where his law partner sits on the Monmouth County Board of Taxation. It was a great bit of reporting on a clear conflict of interest, and we included it in a brief on THE STATE of New Jersey

Now, According to Art, “The Asbury Park Press picked up the story of this obvious conflict, which was first raised here at MMM last week.”
Tax Board Conflict likely to continue.

Honestly, read Art Gallagher for a while then wait a few days and you’ll read strikingly similar sentiments in the Press.
