FBI Arrests Trenton Mayor, Others in Corruption Probe
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Trenton-Mayor-Tony-Mack-Arrest-New-Jersey-Corruption-Probe-169147016.html?dr
Federal authorities arrested Trenton, N.J., Mayor Tony Mack and more than half a dozen other people early Monday in connection with an ongoing corruption probe, NBC 4 New York has learned.
Mack faces federal charges including conspiracy to obstruct commerce by extortion. Joseph "JoJo" Giorgianni, a top campaign contributor, and six others were also taken into custody. Information on their attorneys wasn't immediately available. Specific charges against the suspects are expected to be outlined by Paul Fishman, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, later Monday.
Reading the article you won't find his political affiliation....Any guesses about what letter follows his name?
Oh I found it by going to his web site: http://tonymack.com/biography/
Tony served the Democratic Party as a committeeman in the East Ward (District 7) and West Ward (District 1) sections of the city. In addition, he was active in the City of Trenton’s 1996 and 1994 mayoral and city council campaigns. His current political affiliations include the Mercer County Democratic Caucus and former Chairperson of the Trenton Democratic Committee. As Chairperson, he led Trenton in a Mercer County victory in restoring a Democrat to the County Executive position after 24 years.
Isn't it funny how the media leaves that one small detail out when reporting the corruption inside the democrat party.

Not much apparently...they are both run by people that look like obama's son ..if he had a son....

"Isn't it funny how the media leaves that one small detail out when reporting the corruption inside the democrat party."
Funny as in derelict, and journalistic malpractice ?

Funny as in derelict, and journalistic malpractice ?
In a word...Yes.
-
The part that I found funny was this:
Tony served the Democratic Party
He didn't serve the people of the city. He didn't serve even those constituents who voted for him. He served the PARTY. I guess we know where his loyalties were.
-
Yeah, if he was a Republican, they would have said it within the first four words of the article.
-
Not much apparently...they are both run by people that look like obama's son ..if he had a son....
If Obama had a son, he'd be the bagman.

This article was written BEFORE Chris Christy was elected but gives a good snap shot of the problems in the state.
The Mob That Whacked Jersey
Steven Malanga
How rapacious government withered the Garden State
http://www.city-journal.org/html/16_2_new_jersey.html
Inept, often corrupt, politicians have squandered yet more billions wrung from suburban taxpayers, supposedly to uplift the poor in the state’s troubled cities, which have nevertheless continued to crumble despite the record spending.
Jersey has caught a bad case of the blue-state blues.
Democrats; "it's for the poor and children......"
