NJ assemblyman Robert Schroeder on writing bad checks: 'I made a mistake'

Friday, August 3, 2012 Last updated: Saturday August 4, 2012, 12:41 AM

A Republican lawmaker known for generous contributions to GOP politicians and campaign funds across the state is blaming President Obama and the poor economy for his financial and legal problems, which now include criminal charges that he wrote nearly $400,000 in bad checks to investors in his military contracting business.

“We’re having tough business times like everybody else,” said Assemblyman Robert Schroeder, who represents the 39th District. “Business has been in decline during the Obama administration.”

Schroeder, 52, disputed a criminal complaint filed by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office on Friday that charges him with passing bad checks, a second-degree felony. It’s the latest court trouble for Schroeder related to his business, that includes more than a dozen lawsuits from vendors and creditors stretching back to at least 1997.

“I made a mistake, I apologize,” Schroeder said. “I’m responsible for my actions. It’s a sad day for my family.”

10. Wait.....beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks....Schroeder..

he was doing this long before Obama came to office. He needs to do a prison bid if convicted. Appear people are now beginning to realize he is just a schmuck.

" Schroeder said his business was primarily focused on federal military contracts, which have not been as lucrative as the U.S. pulls troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan."

“Over the years, we were very successful working with the United States government and military,” he said. “Because of the cuts in defense spending, it’s had a drastic effect on our operations.”
