Having lived in the wonderful socialist paradise (MD) for many years, I can say unequivocally that NJ doesn't even register on the meter scale that has to be used to measure corruption in this state.
“The Land Of Pleseant Living” has had a few - Marvin Mandel, Spiro Agnew, Clarence M. Mitchell III, Michael Mitchell, and Sheila Dixon, but New Jersey, there’s a corrupt state:
James McGreevey
Bob Torricelli
Anthony Russo
James Treffinger
Butch Saunders
Sara Bost
Martin Barnes
Gerald McCann
Angelo Errichetti
