New Jersey’s having all kinds of fun over the last week or so. Here’s some of their local headlines:
Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt (R-Ocean), Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell and Jersey City Council President Mariano Vega are among those already brought to the FBI building in Newark. Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini has also been arrested.
And from the New York Post:
The arrested include Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez, state Assemblymen Peter Van Pelt and Harvey Smith, Jersey City Council President Mariano Vega, Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Baldini, Jersey City Republicans John Guarini and Guy Catrillo, La Vern Webb-Washington, a Jersey City council candidate, Joseph Castagna, Jersey City’s health officer, and Michael Manzo, a long-time veteran of the Jersey City fire department.
CNN ran it as a headline:
New Jersey mayor set to resign over corruption probe
No party affiliations mentioned.
Wolf Blitzer?
“Dozens of public figures, including mayors, are caught in a stunning corruption sweep. They belong to both major parties.”
Deborah Feyerick?
“nearly 30 politicians and public officials, Democrats and Republicans, were rounded up in what prosecutors called the largest sweep of its kind.”
ABC, CBS, and NBC all ran stories during their evening broadcasts, not one mention of party affiliation. So, sounds like a bipartisan affair doesn’t it? By my best guess, this bipartisan affair now includes 42 Democrats and 4 Republicans including people working for the Democrat governor. Among the usual charges of taking bribes and the like, a rabbi is charged along with one of them as well as one pandering human organs.
“An ethical cloud hangs over the Capitol, … This culture of corruption must stop. … The American people deserve better.” – Nancy Pelosi. Maybe it will stop when media starts reporting ethically.
