By sending this letter, you are stripping away the "legal shield" Senator Bucco is using to mislead the public and protecting the integrity of the Roxbury community. He has intentionally sought a favorable opinion from the OLS—a body that only governs legislative technicalities—to distract from the much stricter NJ Office of Attorney Ethics rules that he is bound by as a lawyer. Your letter forces a formal record of his refusal to address the "appearance of conflict" required by the NJ Supreme Court, moving this issue out of the hands of his political allies and into the hands of professional legal regulators. Most importantly, it demands that Roxbury Township be represented by independent, non-partisan legal counsel who can advocate for the town’s best interests regarding the ICE matter without the cloud of political ambition or conflicting loyalties. This creates the necessary pressure to force a simple choice: he must either prioritize his professional ethical obligations by stepping aside, or be replaced by a counsel whose only priority is a fair and transparent fight for the township.
