2 Dem Mayors 1 Rep Assemblan Arrested in huge sweep! 2 N.J. Mayors Arrested in Broad Inquiry on Corruption DAVID M. HALBFINGER Published: July 23, 2009 The mayors of Hoboken and Secaucus, a state assemblyman and dozens of others were rounded up early Thursday as the F.B.I. swept across four counties in New Jersey as part of a two-year corruption and money-laundering investigation that ranged from the Jersey Shore to Brooklyn and has even reached into the State House in Trenton.

Post a Comment » Agents raided the home of Joseph V. Doria Jr., commissioner of the state Department of Community Affairs, who also is the former mayor of Bayonne, an official confirmed Thursday morning. Among the roughly 30 people arrested by mid-morning were Hoboken Mayor Peter J. Cammarano III and Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, both Democrats, and Assemblyman Daniel M. Van Pelt, a Republican from Forked River, in Ocean County. Mr. Cammarano, who turned 32 on Wednesday, was elected mayor June 9 and sworn in July 1, after serving as councilman-at-large since 2005. Also brought to the Newark office of the F.B.I. were the president of the city council in Jersey City, Mariano Vega, and that city’s deputy mayor, Leona Beldini. Federal prosecutors said the arrests included several rabbis from enclaves of Syrian Jews in Brooklyn and from Deal and Elberon, communities along the Jersey Shore in Ocean County. The Asbury Park Press reported that the investigation involved the Deal Yeshiva, a religious school which teaches children in the Sephardic Jewish tradition. The United States Attorney’s office in Newark scheduled a noon news conference. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who has fought corruption in New Jersey’s largest city, told The Star-Ledger it’s "an unbelievable morning so far."

>>" My dad's cousins...all three of them are working class....one is a Chef, one drives a bus and one is a retailer of books. Two came here (actually Boston) for eye surgeries they would have had to wait for years to obtain... "<< Oh BS, those eye surgeries in the US, if they ever happened, had nothing to do with any "wait for years to obtain" in the UK. There are private practice eye surgeons in London e.g. just as the ear specialist I used and paid for that would do the surgery without any wait if your "working class" cousins had the funds to pay. Maybe your "working class cousins" are not "clever" (understandable if they are your blood relatives) and the OxBridge surgeons would not sully their private practice but it was certainly not an NHS issue.
