Embattled Jersey City agency chief expected to step downBy JERSEY CITY — The longtime executive director of the Jersey City agency where four employees were arrested and accused of public corruption last month is expected to step down by Monday, sources tell The Jersey Journal. Oren K. Dabney, who has led the Jersey City Incinerator Authority since 2001, when he became the first African American to run a city autonomous agency, has signaled he intends to end his career there, the sources said. It's not clear whether Dabney, who makes $152,324, plans to retire or resign. Meanwhile, the JCIA's board of commissioners is expected to meet for an emergency meeting early next week, according to the sources, who asked not to be identified discussing personnel moves.

Great move. We need to take a wrecking ball to at least half of all government, considering how bloated and useless so many of these agencies are. But this is a good start.

The Rizzoli debacle forced Fulop to appoint Dabney. The end game has always been to kill the JCIA and put it under the DPW.

Maybe Oren Dabney (a Fulop appointee) will be the sacrificial lamb for letting the other Fulop appointee, Chico, get the free use of a luxury SUV while being on Fulop's City Council?

Did I miss something? Where are the names of the arrested employees? Is Oren Dabney's brother now a fugitive?
Why all the mystery?

Fulop should make the JCIA and DPW "models of diversity" as
he claims to be doing to the police.

Exactly, the City spin machine was in top gear - two ?different? stories about the same news item. So, I'm still wondering if you'll really go after this story...? BTW, speaking of really going after stories, does the Journal have any updates on that story about the building on Garfield with the Fire Escape collapse? Remember, the one "inspected" within the past 3 years. An OPRA request for information should have been answered by now.... It would be nice to know which City Official isn't doing their job.

FYI -- those are two different stories. The earlier headline remains the same now as it was when I first posted it. Second one has a different headline because it's a different story, with more information.

jerseymom, what an apt choice of words ?... the whole Rizzoli thing blew up....? I guess you're referring to that unapproved gas line running from the boiler room up to the third floor in that complex, allegedly installed at the behest of the former Jersey City Fire Code Official appointed by Mayor Fulop to head DPW. Imagine the devastation and loss of life (and waste of $87 million) if somebody working on the building in future had unwittingly punctured that gas line because it wasn't shown on any plan.... The Jersey Journal headline for the story changed during the day, catching my eye. This morning it read: ?Arrests at Jersey City agency in apparent corruption probe?. By afternoon it was all kudos to our super-Mayor, corruption fighter extraordinaire: ?Fulop alleges waste-for-cash scheme at Jersey City agency.? I guess the City's spin machine got into top gear during the morning. But jerseymom, I think you hit the nail on the head: ?The article indicated this investigation began nearly a year ago. The timing is interesting. Someone ratted someone out - the old Hudson County way.? I wonder, do you think the Jersey Journal has enough spine to really go after this story...?

It was just about a year ago that the whole Rizzoli thing blew up and Oren Dabney was appointed joint head of the JCIA and DPW. The article indicated this investigation began nearly a year ago. The timing is interesting. Someone ratted someone out - the old Hudson County way.

It's been months now since Fulop learned that his prot?g?, Chico Ramchal (an unpaid JCIA commissioner) drunk drove his borrowed JCIA car through a JC intersection, lights ablaze. Has Fulop had that investigated yet? http://hudsonreporter.com/view/full_s ... cle-Ramchal-named-to-JCIA

Was this investigation Fulop's idea? If so, great job.

Email the author | Follow on Twitter on July 02, 2015 at 1:13 PM, updated July 02, 2015 at 2:21 PM The arrests at the Jersey City Incinerator Authority today were the result of a nearly year-long city investigation into whether workers there used JCIA equipment for personal gain, according to Mayor Steve Fulop. The workers would use agency trucks to "illegally" pick up construction debris and then co-mingle it with Jersey City's "legal and legitimate garbage" in exchange for cash, Fulop told The Jersey Journal this afternoon.

I have been saying this for a long time - we don't need these autonomous agencies. They were not elected but they spend our money. Bayonne got rid of some and it is time we do the same.

JCIA. Tsk.
I hope they take this opportunity to 'clean house' because they are just a mess from a customer service standpoint. I heard from one of their inspectors that some changes are coming but I didn't expect this.

Fulop won't 'tolerate' this, but will tolerate a sitting Councilman stealing from Hudson County taxpayers?? Why didn't he say the DPW employees will have to 'go through the process' before he can pass judgment?
