Commerce Bancorp trades on its political connections and campaign contributions to win public work in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The fast-growing financial institution, does bank, insurance and bond work with hundreds of government agencies. Though he was a dominant player in Philadelphia, White also has been involved in Democratic politics in New Jersey. During McGreevey's 2001 run for governor, White was a major fund-raiser.

19.Extravagant trip to Ireland -> Initially paid for by NJ taxpayers, but after public outrage, Gov had NJDEM State committee pay bill.
20.Trip to Puerto Rico -> This trip was exposed, because it was paid for by Longshoreman Union Officials who where being indicted at the time.
21.Use of State Helicopter -> Media exposed extravagant use of helicopter, early on in administration, forcing Gov. to use it less.
As to his homosexuality, well, wrong and illegal are not necesarily the same thing...but that doesn't make the wrong thing right...it just makes it his intensely personal choice to follow the wrong master.
So is Golan Cipel the one with whom McGreevey had the affair?
NJCorruption/Mr. Bundle/McGreedy ping. Weird development, eh?
I don't understand the hysteria. Jim Mc Greedy is only making public what most of the world knows is a requirement to seek office as a Democrap! After all, this had nothing to do with his office, unless the affair took place under the Governor's desk. Oh but wait, that was OK for the President, so it should be OK for a Governor.
No question that McGreevey's resignation is not just about having extramarital affairs with men, or little boys or whatever - - that kind of thing doesn't bother Democrats - - but is more likely connected with Kushner and the corrupt Democrat Party stars he works for, mainly Hillary Clinton.
I think the fun is just beginning.
The utterly crooked Kushner is the typical powerbroker for the evil rat party.
Because (according to my kid, who's a NJ resident), if he resigned earlier, they'd have to have a special election to fill the post. Resigning as of that date means the state senate president will finish out the term (Jan 2006). The current senate president is--surprise--a Dem. http://www.nj.com/news/times/index.ssf?/news/times/stories/20040812_mcgreevey.html
My God! Tony Soprano would Throw Up!
This is just a creepy story. The guy was elected GOVERNOR of a state, and he is so corrupt AND blackmailable. Then we have the RAT nominee for POTUS, and he has been telling whopper stories for years about his service in a war. And there are lunatics out there who will vote for these people because they are not _____________. (republican or conservative)
Where is God in this picture????????

No wonder the UN is coming to America to monitor the vote, New Jersey "IS" a 3rd world political cesspool.
