NJ Congressman Steve Rothman's Chief of Staff Fired After Arrest

NJ Rep. Steve Rothman
With Former Chief of
 Staff Robert Desheine
NJ Congressman Steve Rothman (D-N.J.) chief of staff Robert Decheine was arrested Friday in Gaithersburg, Md. Congressman Rothman fired Decheine after he was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor. 
“Congressman Rothman immediately consulted appropriate House counsel and terminated Mr. Decheine’s employment, effective November 19, 2010, due to the very serious nature of this charge,” Rothman spokesman Aaron Keyak stated. “Congressman Rothman considers this alleged criminal act to be shocking, appalling and indefensible. As a parent, he understands the vital importance of protecting our children from predators.”
Rothman legislative director Marc Cevasco will serve as acting chief of staff.

Decheine also served in the position of Senior Advisor in Obama's Presidential Campaign.

Members of the NJECPAC Board of Governors met with Decheine in May of 2010. He failed to understand the Green Jobs Improvement Act and why it is important for creating jobs when he proceeded to ask us how the unions felt about it, which was not even relevent to the conversation. Now we know his mind may have been elsewhere.
