McGreevey group evicted from Jersey City office

JERSEY CITY — Employees of ex-Gov. Jim McGreevey’s statewide prisoner re-entry nonprofit were evicted Wednesday from the Jersey City office where they have been working.

The move represents an escalation of hostilities between McGreevey and the new management of the Jersey City Employment and Training Program, the federally funded nonprofit McGreevey ran until he was fired earlier this month.

There are about a dozen employees of NJ Reentry Corp, a nonprofit McGreevey chairs that runs re-entry services around the state, who worked at the JCETP office on Martin Luther King Drive, according to Alex Avellan, general counsel for NJ Reenty Corp. Avellan told The Jersey Journal they were told Wednesday morning they had to be out by the end of the day, then they were told they had to be out sooner.
