Gerry Woods has a very

Marc Schrieks wants to appoint him to a public authority, he should give a full
disclosure on Mr. Woods’ past indictment.

"Another
carpenter union official, GERALD WOODS, the Executive
SecretaryTreasurer/Business Manager for the Northern New Jersey Regional
Council of the Carpenters and Joiners of America has also been indicted. Woods
received bribes from participating contractors for allowing contract violations
and for improperly signing International Agreements, which permitted New Jersey
contractors to work on job sites in the City without having to sign contracts
with Local 608,"
So what ever came of it? Did he make a deal? Were the charges dismissed? The public has the right to know.
Anyone being appointed to a public
authority that spends millions of tax dollars should go through some vetting
process.
Lodi deserves better.
