Description | Gov. Phil Murphy’s staff was kept in the loop while former Schools Development Authority CEO Lizette Delgado-Polanco fired dozens of longtime SDA employees and filled their positions with friends and family members who often lacked qualifications, according to a State Commission of Investigation report released Monday.
The commission found front office staff were told about Delgado-Polanco’s questionable hiring decisions as they occurred.
“So, every hire that Lizette, you know, every person that Lizette hired, salary, she didn’t do any — she didn’t take any step without calling the governor’s office,” Delgado-Polanco deputy chief of staff Patricia Arcila Cabrera told the commission. “And this is interesting, because nobody is talking about that but me, being that I was the deputy chief of staff, I was always in her office, she constantly called in, they knew everything that was going on, everything, every hire, every move.”
Cabrera described herself as Delgado-Polanco’s best friend in sworn testimony given to the commission. |
