The NJ Assembly Reps have a list of questions for Riccio though:

NEW JERSEY TAXPAYERS HAVE A RIGHT
TO KNOW HIS ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS

The following are a list of questions that Rocco Riccio should be asked to answer if he goes forward with a press conference today to discuss his $15,000 “gift” from Governor Jon Corzine and his employment with the state:

· What exactly did Corzine Administration officials promise Mr. Riccio when he lost his job at the Turnpike Authority?

· Why did Governor Corzine pay Mr. Riccio $15,000, and who was the first person to bring up the issue of money? Did Riccio ask for money? Did Corzine or his aides suggest a payment?

· If this was a private matter between Governor Corzine and Mr. Riccio, as the Governor contends, then why were state resources and staff expended in an effort to obtain private sector employment for Mr. Riccio?

· When and where did he meet with Tom Shea and Ken Zimmerman?

· Whose tax records did Mr. Riccio look up and at whose instruction?

· What did Mr. Riccio do with the information he accessed and who did he share this information with?

· What was the reason officials gave Mr. Riccio for his firing?

· If Mr. Riccio has nothing to hide, does he agree that an independent, special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate the matter and clear his name?
