605...Apparently Taking Bribes Is Illegal

In Hoboken, New Jersey.

I am just minding my own business this morning, checking the New York Yankees' score in the Newark Star-Ledger when I come across a story that I thought you would find interesting.

It seems that Hoboken has a new mayor and their new mayor, Peter Cammarano, is about to become their old mayor. The 32 year old Democrat was stung by the FBI and is poised to become the second New Jersey mayor to resign this week. His Worship, Dennis Elwell of Seacacus was the first to fall on his sword, doing so Tuesday. Mr. Cammarano, who was Governor Jon Corzine's fair haired boy, took tens of thousands of dollars in bribes from an FBI agent poising as a real estate developer in the sting that so far has resulted in 44 arrests state wide and the death of one of the indicted, Jack Shaw of Jersey City.

By the way, the Yankees lost last night, 3-2 to the Chisox.
