PRESS RELEASE

The Newark Municipal Council Office of Council President Mildred C. Crump


For Immediate Release Tuesday, September 7, 2007

Contact: Owen Petrie — 973-930-1207


Statement from Newark Municipal Council President, Mildred C. Crump:


“Having known Keith Reid for most of his life, this situation saddens and shocks me. I cannot forget that this is also a painful time for his family and friends who are also suffering through this. My prayers go out to them. Keith has requested a leave of absence from his duties as my chief of staff, which I have granted, effective immediately.

“In the meantime, we are awaiting the report from Newark Inspector General, James Wright, which will be completed by Monday. I will review it and make a decision based on its findings. I must add that this is a nation of laws and no one has forfeited their right to due process. However, I believe it is in the best interest of this Office, our community and Keith that he is allowed to focus his energy on addressing his personal matters.

“Corruption is an issue in New Jersey and as an elected official, I hold myself to a higher standard. I expect all of the people who work in my office to do likewise.”

—Mildred C. Crump
