"In 2013, during Cory Booker’s tenure as Mayor of Newark, New Jersey there were several investigations into the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corporation (NWCDC). The investigations found that the agency’s director, Linda Watkins Brashear, a person with close ties to Booker, had essentially been running a patronage organization that included awarding no-show contracts and pocketing nearly a million dollars."
"Watkins Brashear donated over $5,000 to Booker and his Newark allies from 2008 to 2010 and volunteered for Booker’s mayoral campaigns. She also gave $1000 to Booker’s senate campaign.
Federal Investigations
The watershed was “dissolved in 2013 after widespread charges of corruption and mismanagement were detailed in multiple investigations of the agency, including by The Star Ledger.” In 2014, the New Jersey Comptroller’s Office found that the watershed was siphoning millions of public dollars and making illegal payments. The organization was also investigated by both the US Attorney and the FBI. Once the watershed was dissolved the city of Newark was left to manage water services for half a million customers. Booker’s office claimed to welcome the dissolution, but Booker had fought efforts to quash the watershed in the past. "
