Remember this story? Political bribes a la McGreevey "Machiavellian" style?

I stupidly thought the Halper Farm issue was put to rest since this scandal was busted.

My kids had their birthday party at Halper's, Washington Stables today and learned their farm will be shut down by October a la eminent domain.

Thank you for visiting Jersey, please step behind the Iron Curain.

A state defined by exit ramps.

The best places to visit in Jersey aren't off an exit ramp. They are, however, victim to eminent domain.

True-but-funny story; In the 1940's, my grandparents owned a deli in Jersey City.

Gram convinced gramp to buy a summer cabin in Westerlo, NY.

Then Gram took my dad and his brothers up there for the summer.

In August, she sent Gramp a telegram - "NJ Stinks. Sell the store. Not coming back."

So my dad grew up on a dairy farm in NY...

LOL.

The place ain't improved much. NJ, I mean.

and to make $1,000 in restitution to the Democratic State Committee

This was the only mention of a political party in the entire article. I guarantee that if it were a Republican involved, MSM would be hysterical.

he would have to pay $20,000 in cash and $20,000 in political contributions to a state political committee to receive a favorable price

Yeah, this is typical -- "a state political committee". If it had been Republicans, do you think they would have employed this awkward usage?

One down for the count.

Now, to catch a few more.

It would be easier to leave the state, and never come back.

Of course not. If it were Republicans, whoooeee, bold, large font headlines "GOP crook...etc"

Looks like "the stain maker" and mcqueery have a few things in common, they are both deviants and both are coated with Teflon, seems the ex-gov. isn't going to get prosecuted for anything he did.

State Official 1 = Governor?

>>>>D'Amiano also admitted that, on Feb. 18, 2003, he had a conversation with State Official 1 which prompted State Official 1 to then use the word "Machiavelli" at a meeting that day among state officials, Halper and D'Amiano.

Yes. State Official 1 = McGreevey = Former Governor.

I honestly don't know why this DOJ release coded him as 'State Official 1'. There are articles that clearly state McGreevey instead of that term.
