Oh, I thought he meant the State Government.
I don't know about La., but my home state is Il. and it was pretty
crooked when the first Daly ran it from Chicago, and for a long time
before that. I wonder if "getting caught" is all that separates one
state from another that way?

We're ****ed here in NJ because we always prided ourselves in having the
most corrupt government in the land. Now the FBI tells us we're only
third.

Damn.

Has the City of Newark ever had a Mayor complete his term in office,
outside of the home for wayward government employees in Rahway?

I don't know. The current one, Corey Booker, is a real revolution. He's a
friend of Obama and has a similar history --a Rhodes Scholar, and the Bloods
have been trying to kill him because he's shut down a lot of the drug trade.
He lived in a tent for a while in one of Newark's roughest neighborhoods
just to confront the druggies and crooks on a full-time basis. If he isn't
killed, he may make it.
