Newark, N.J. (AP) -- A town's mayor and his wife surrendered to the FBI on Friday and were charged with diverting campaign funds and taking cash in exchange for aiding a bar owner.
David Delle Donna, mayor of Guttenberg, is the latest of several New Jersey mayors to face charges in recent years in a state plagued by government corruption. Mayors of Asbury Park, Camden, Hoboken and Paterson have been sent to prison. The former longtime mayor of Newark, the state's largest city, is under indictment.
Delle Donna, 49, a Democrat who has been mayor since 2002, and his wife, Anna, 58, were arrested at the FBI office in Newark,

“Delle Donna”? He should be arrested for grammatical dissonance (Delle = plural; Donna = singular).
Whew, as long as it wasn't a misdemeanor brought on by taking a dump in an airport rest room.
They'll get through it...
Yeah, dey shore don't go fer dat grammatical disso-whatsit in Joisey.
And as far as your disrepect of New Jersey,if you're passing through (pronounced "true")... me, if I was you, I would do it late at night and kinda stick to the main roads.

The Sopranos was canceled because they couldn’t compete with real-life NJ politicians.
Oh, and before any of you jump on my case. I am a product of the NJ school system. Ridgewood to be exact!
LOL!
It wouldn’t surprise me if “Delle Donna” were an Ellis Island immigration officer’s misspelling of Italian pronunciation.
My father worked with a Central European man named “Goldberg.” Dad mentioned something about the Jewish holidays one day, and Mr. Goldberg said, “I’m a Catholic.” His father had come through Ellis Island, illiterate, and told the immigration officer his name. “Kerscheezleschnoz,” or something like that with no vowels. After the third try at it, the officer said, “The guy ahead of you was ‘Goldberg.’ I can spell that. Your name is ‘Goldberg,’ too!”
Where the hell is the indictment on Bob Menendez??!!?!??? Are they just dropping that one since he made it into the House of Lords?
Gutenberg is a tiny city of less than 11,000 people on the Hudson River across from Manhattan in notoriously corrupt Hudson County (Jersey City)
Congratulations on surviving the NJ school system. Who was your Big Brother, Guido?
Painting with a pretty broad brush there, eh fella?
Oh, and before YOU jump on my case, I’m a product of the NJ school system too.
A NJ Mayor indited for corruption??? SHOCKING! -that he would be indited.
And my guess is you still live there. I feel your pain!
“NJ Mayor Indicted on Corruption Charges”.. but there will be no changes in the way they vote in the Garden State. The people there suffer from BVS. Those suffering from the dreaded “BVS” ( battered voter syndrome ) have no control over their voting. They are told that registering democrat means voting democrat. Since they have gone to New Jersey government schools they can not figure out how to cancel or change their registration. The poor souls, they believe they are not allowed to vote Republican by law.
Losing a mind to BVS is indeed a terrible thing!
Unfortunately, most people know the New Jersey Turnpike and the Soprano clan and more and more of the Garden State is getting just like that. But look at the bright side, we get lots of very nice New Jersey visitors here who escape to Maryland.
And some of us remember when you had Millicent Fenwick, and Governor Tom Keane, (thought he was going national at one point) both of whom, and many another, spoke the Queen's English, and agriculture was the number 1 business ... why your state was even famous for foxhunting!
