W. Cary Edwards, a former attorney general and state legislator and the chair of the State Commission of Investigation, New Jersey’s independent watchdog agency, died Wednesday at his home in Oakland of complications from cancer. He was 66.
Gov. Christine Whitman named Edward to the SCI in 1997 and Gov. Richard Codey appointed him chairman in 2004. During his tenure, Edwards supervised investigations centering on gangs in prisons, how convicted felons could easily buy ammunition, computer crime, abuse of the E-Z Pass toll system procurement and questionable and excessive compensation for public school administrators.
