Never mind the fact that she should never have been appointed in the first place. 13 speeding tickets, multiple license suspensions, and bench warrants issued for her arrest should have been the tipoff that Farber shows incredible disdain for the law.
No, what should get Farber fired is what happened next.
Farber's latest move was to show up where her boyfriend was about to get multiple citations and have his car impounded over the Memorial Day weekend. Instead of that, we got nothing.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Farber's live-in boyfriend, Hamlet Goore, was flagged down by police enforcing a "Click It or Ticket" seat-belt campaign.I think most New Jersey residents would love to have that kind of improved customer service. They've come to expect the ethical lapses by their governors without a blink of the eye.
When the cops discovered that Goore's van was unregistered and his license suspended, they gave him two citations and ordered the vehicle towed away.
Then the attorney general showed up at the scene - in a state car, its emergency lights flashing, driven by a state trooper, on state time.
Within minutes, the tow was canceled, and the cops tried to void the tickets, citing "incorrect information." Barely a half-hour later, Goore's drivers license was mysteriously restored by the state Motor Vehicle Commission - which insists, after continually shifting accounts, that the move only reflected improved customer service.
As for Farber, she maintains that she exerted no undue influence - and only arrived at the scene (again, in a state vehicle in full emergency mode) as a "private citizen."
It's unfortunate because the Attorney General is supposed to be enforcing the law, not flouting it.
