Mayor Indicted

In Newark New Jersey, that is.

I’ve talked with several people about how many parallels there are between the corruption in Newark NJ and the corruption in Harrisburg PA-

And the axe finally fell-

Former Newark New Jersey Mayor Sharpe James was indicted on federal charges accusing him of using city credit cards for personal expenses in addition to shady sales of city owned land.

Read it and weep…or read it and see that there IS hope -

On Thursday, it produced an indictment charging James with using city credit cards for more than $58,000 in personal expenses during trips to locations including Martha’s Vineyard, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Rio de Janeiro. He’s also charged with conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, and with engineering the cut-rate sale of city properties.
