Public works director Manuel Ojeda, who signed off on at least two of the allegedly fraudulent overtime authorization forms, has remained silent on the indictment of three of his supervisors for corruption.

The three supervisors — Joseph Mania, 51, of Randolph; Imad Mowaswes, 52, of Clifton; Timothy Hanlon, 30, of Woodland Park — are accused of submitting false overtime forms, timesheets, and tampering with public records.

Ojeda’s approval signature is on two overtime authorization forms for Mania and Hanlon dated March 16th, 2015. Mania and Hanlon each put in six hours of overtime work that day from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., according to municipal records provided to the Paterson Times last year.

The three indicted supervisors have garnered newspaper attention over the past years for earning large sums of money through overtime pay.

Mania collected $116,543 in overtime pay in fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Mowaswes collected $76,437 in that same period. And Hanlon received $75,066 in those two years, according to municipal records.

So now what? Whos next to be caught up in this situation..
