The US attorney is also going after New Brunswick officials. From last weekend's Home News:

Hours after being informed by New Brunswick mayor and two city officials that he had been named in a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office, the director of the city's water utilities plant apparently took his own life Friday with a handgun. Shawn Maloney, a lifelong city resident and utilities director since 1993...

What a Waste... (0.00 / 0)

I wish this poor fellow had been able to have come forward and "spill all the beans" under oath.

You really have to wonder what kind of pressure he was under if he preferred to kill himself rather than testify.

I hope that Mr Maloney's "suicide" is THOROUGHLY investigated.

Corruption (if that was the underlying alleged reason for the subpoena) does not exist in a vacuum.

You really do have to wonder who may now be celebrating the fact that this man is dead.

I'm sure all the good and all the honest members of the New Brunswick community would join me in hoping/praying/demanding that the AG's office (and the press!!!) should do thorough investigations to uncover/expose any individuals who may be in the aforementioned category.
