The state attorney general seized the assets of one of New Jersey’s largest engineering firms, Birdsall Services Group, at the same time the company and seven executives were indicted. 

The Eatontown-based company as well as seven current and former executives and shareholders, including the retired chief executive, Howard Birdsall, were indicted for illegally financing the campaigns of the same public officials who have awarded them millions of dollars in public contracts.

Birdsall was the official Engineers for Lakewood Township, as well as being granted numerous projects. They were major contributors to the Campaigns of Robert Singer who was on the Township Committe at the time they were appointed. 

State authorities charge that over six years, the company and its senior executives disguised more than $686,000 in contributions by asking employees to write checks of $300 or less, which do not have to be reported to the state, and then illegally reimbursing them through added bonuses.

probably the tip of the iceberg , How long can this country sustain the never ending corruption that seems to be all to common place in city, state & nation that we see everyday taking place . Is it any wonder that the confidence of the American people in government is at an all time low .Before any other nation even attempts to destroy us it will happen from within if we cannot restore honest leadership in every level of government
