From the article...

"New Jersey's corruption problem is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the nation," said Ed Kahrer, who heads the FBI's white-collar and public corruption division. "Corruption is a cancer that is destroying the core values of this state."

Something we can all be proud of.....NOT!!

I know many were on the local level, but interesting that there is absolutely no Party identification in the article at all. Not that Republicans are excempt from this kinda stuff, but this smacks as Democrat payoff machine type tactics.

From the article:

The 44 arrests Thursday were a remarkable number even for New Jersey, where more than 130 public officials have pleaded guilty or have been convicted of corruption since 2001.

GREAT. They’ve cut off my ONLY source of fake Gucci handbags filled with human kidneys wrapped in unmarked $100 bills.

What the heck am I supposed to do now? I’ve only got a couple left and the weekend’s coming up!

New Jersey, the very definition of a blue state, corrupt?

I’m shocked, SHOCKED!

Convict the perps, and send them to be hired by the Obamaloon for his cabinet.

Took nine paragraphs before we get to this

“Among the 44 people arrested were the mayors of Hoboken, Ridgefield and Secaucus, Jersey City’s deputy mayor, and two state assemblymen. A member of the governor’s cabinet resigned after agents searched his home, though he was not arrested. All but one of the officeholders are Democrats.”

In other news, the White House referred to the New Jersey politicians as, “amateurs.”
