Authorities have issued a subpoena to the South Jersey Transportation Authority over votes to delay payments to a contractor whose executive crossed Norcross politically, sources say.
George Norcross probe: Prosecutors have broadened their investigation of the N.J. power broker beyond Camden real estate deals
Now, authorities are looking into whether Norcross, who does not hold elected office but is widely seen as one of the state’s most influential political figures, also influenced the SJTA’s decision to stop paying the company in retaliation, according to three sources briefed on the investigation. Investigators’ scrutiny of those payment delays comes months into an ongoing probe of Norcross’ real estate dealings in Camden between 2014 and 2018.
Fee, Norcross’ spokesperson, said investigators had not contacted Norcross in connection with the transportation authority’s decision to stop payments to T&M Associates last year. The SJTA, which reported operating revenues of $156 million in 2022 and expenses of $125.5 million, derives most of its revenue from AC Expressway tolls. Its leadership has ties to the South Jersey Democratic political machine, which Norcross has led for more than two decades., a Camden County Democrat and Norcross ally.
