Some really interesting context
Article written about political patronage hires at NJ Transit by Bergen Record
Anonymous, uncalled for response from @njtransit. Dan Bryan, senior advisor to the Governor slams NJ Transit - tweet removed
NJ Transit claims rogue employee tweeted.
It comes out that the tweet came from Stewart Mader, a patronage hire who is supposed to be a customer advocate, but never advocates for customers at the direction of the NJ Transit chief administrative officer Jeannie Kwon, the central player in a storm over the hiring of a relative of the embattled agency’s CFO
An article comes out this AM detailing the process of Mader's hiring (hint: connections to Murphy) and reveals that he was hired for a PR role, not the customer service role that NJ Transit claims he fills
WIth all of this patronage hiring and drama at NJ Transit, its no wonder nothing runs correctly
