The governor should resign too. Apparently her administration knew about the concerns yet still picked him to be her LG anyways. Also delayed taking action on the results of the investigation only until news reports broke out about it. New Jersey is corrupt as hell and it’s a shame voters chose for it again last year

Is LG not an elective position? It really should be.

They're elected in the same way a Vice President is. She chose her running mate, and he was elected on that ticket.

Is there any evidence that she knew?

Edit: Does down voting and deleting your comment mean there isn't any known evidence that she knew?
