As bad as it is, Booker (took office in 2006) is three times better than the thug who ran Newark for 25 years, Sharp James. In a state of corrupt official he leads the pack.

Oh please-—Booker is just getting started.

Rumor is he’s put his relatives in key jobs already.

If that’s not a sign of the corruption to come, nothing is.

Booker is a decent man. He really hasn’t had time to acclimate into the position since most people he has to deal with on a daily basis are still part of the James Gang.

I am looking to lease shop and warehouse space in Northern New Jersey, I told my Real Estate agent don’t even show me anything in Newark, the City has it’s own payroll tax, property insurance rates are twice the surrounding towns and the buildings and yards must be fortified like a armed camp to keep out the locals after dark. Sharp James and Ken Gibson sold out Newark to the bad guys a long time ago, James had an “understanding” with the gangs, they are trying to back down Booker, I think/hope he is on the level and will push back.
