Allow me to introduce the new Executive Director of JJOKE

Dan Horwitz/John Milgram

For the second time in under a month the two headed executive director creation at JJOKE has made a public pronouncement without securing the approval of the JJOKE commissioners.

The first time Dan Horwitz/John Milgram announced that the lt. governors private home purchase from an executive of a lobbying client did not require disclosure under JJOKE's reportable business relationship regulations now Dan Horwitz/John Milgram have announced that delinquent attorney registrant Rob Cohen will face no ramifications for his failure to maintain his attorney registration in a timely fashion for over one year.

What do these two events have in common besides the fact that they were poorly thought out and communicated to an already skeptical (as to JJOKE's reputation) general public?

According to the commissioners I've spoken with in neither instance did Dan Horwitz/John Milgram bother to check with the other commissioners before they made a public pronouncement that will affect the commissioner’s professional reputations.

How do I know that?

Because I talk to commissioners.

I know they are livid about Dan Horwitz/John Milgram style of management or lack thereof.

Its Dan Horwitz/John Milgram mushroom farming strategy but they don't even have the courtesy to feed the other commissioners a diet of sh*t they just keep them in the dark.

And the real problem is none of the other commissioners have shown the desire or ability to sack up and say something.

Now Marvin Jacobs and George Weismann may occasionally make a remark that exhibits some independence and/or knowledge of the issues but for the most part they remain mute and allow Dan Horwitz/John Milgram to sully their reputations by association.

You would think this group of well respected (at least before they got on this commission) attorneys would care about their reputations enough to try and get it right.

Ellen Yaroshefsky is a self proclaimed legal ethicist and a professor of law at the Cardozo School of Law. Given her lack of activity at JJOKE where you would think she would publicly discuss these types of pronouncements being made by Dan Horwitz/John Milgram one has to wonder when she will start teaching instead of auditing the ethics being taught at JJOKE.  Ms. Yaroshefsy if you care about your professional reputation the time has come to speak up, after all your attorney registration is up to date. Just tell me how Rob Cohen can issue any fines to the lobby community for late filings going forward.

Hon. Joseph Covello is a highly respected jurist with decades on the bench; he served on the United States Army's Presidential Honor Guard. How much honor do you think JJOKE is exhibiting Judge? Judge Covello if you care about your professional reputation the time has come to speak up, after all your attorney registration is up to date. Just tell me how Rob Cohen can issue any fines to the lobby community for late filings going forward.

Mary Lou Rath is a graduate of a body that has increasingly been associated with a lack of ethics.  This is a perfect opportunity for her to rehabilitate her reputation. Mary Lou Rath if you care about your professional reputation the time has come to speak up. Just tell me how Rob Cohen can issue any fines to the lobby community for late filings going forward.

Mitra Hormozi is the former Chairman of the Public Integrity Commission, she should understand the issues JJOKE has brought upon themselves. I've had many conversations with Mitra, I know she gets it. I haven't always agreed with Mitra but I always thought her decisions were her own and her reputation never suffered as a result. Do you like the way Dan Horwitz/John Milgram are making decisions for you Mitra? Mitra Hormozi if you care about your professional reputation the time has come to speak up after all your attorney registration is up to date. Just tell me how Rob Cohen can issue any fines to the lobby community for late filings going forward.

Gary Lavine is a lawyer with decades of experience in government. I don't know a single person who has a bad word to say about Gary's ethics. Are you comfortable playing catch-up to Dan Horwitz/John Milgram Gary? Gary Lavine if you care about your professional reputation the time has come to speak up after all your attorney registration is up to date. Just tell me how Rob Cohen can issue any fines to the lobby community for late filings going forward.

It's time to fish or cut bait JJOKE. Is it better to remain silent and be thought a fool or speak up and . . . . Write a new ending.

And is it just me or is Dan Horwitz/John Milgram starting to look and sound a lot like Edgar Bergin and Charly McCarthy?  Where does Dan stick his hand?
