Jennifer Golson, "Former Irvington Mayor to Serve Prison Time for Kickbacks," in The Star Ledger, March 9, 2010, at p. 9.
"Former Irvington Mayor Michael Steele was sentenced yesterday to seven years in prison for accepting more than $120,000 in kickbacks during his tenure as business administrator for the city's board of education."
Irvington's proximity to Newark has always made it both the recipient of Newark's overflowing street crime problem and attractive to white collar criminals looking to corrupt public officials now that Newark has become inhospitable to "business as usual," thanks to Cory Booker.
As a result of reforms in Newark, there is no shortage of customers for the Irvington Police Department. However, there is a shortage of pay increases for police officers in the Garden State. Most municipal cops are excellent in New Jersey. They are among the victims of Garden State political corruption. ("Leona Beldini and Conduct Unbecoming to a Public Official in New Jersey.")
N.J. property taxes are among the highest in the nation, local and state taxes are burdensome because they duplicate costs imposed on citizens and residents of what is now, by far, the most corrupt state in the union. New Jersey's political-judicial-mafia problem is embarassing for all Americans. Many state and municipal employees will be fired or will lose pensions in the years to come. How does it feel? Talk to me about "ethics" in New Jersey? ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")
I am told that Senator Bob has become a moral leper in Washington, D.C. where people are worried about shaking his hand or being photographed while speaking to Mr. "on the one hand but on the other hand." Two grand juries and no indictment yet? ("More Problems for Menendez -- Tapes!")
Teachers, firefighters, sanitation workers and police officers are grossly underpaid in terms of what they are asked to do when more than the amount necessary to provide needed pay increases for these workers is stolen every year by so-called politicians happily "on the tit" in Trenton. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
"Steele, 54, pleaded guilty Sept. 30 to official misconduct and pattern of official misconduct for rigging bids for two contractors. Superior Court Judge Stephen Rubin, sitting in Flemington, sentenced Steele to the punishment outlined in the plea deal Deputy Attorney General Erik Daab and defense lawyer Peter Till ["bring cash!"] arranged. Steele must serve five years before he is eligible for parole and pay $120,000 in restitution." ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
The new Attorney General in New Jersey, "Pamela" a.k.a. Paula Dow, is willing to prosecute lesbians (including Deborah T. Poritz?) and political corruption which is an unprecedented situation. "Nobody knows what's what!" Mr. "Fat Tony" said to a reporter. ("Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Sybil R. Moses and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
Maybe Pamela a.k.a. Paula Dow will actually respond to my requests for information by turning over all documents and/or recordings pertaining to the secret and criminal investigation/torture process to which I have been subjected since 1988 in what Mr. Christie described as "New Jersey's culture of corruption" and "business as usual" environment of corruption. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")
John Eligion, "District Attorney Blames Greed in Fatal Crane Collapse," in The New York Times, March 9, 2010, at p. A24.
Allegations that owners of a crane company doing business, allegedly, in New York and New Jersey were protected from prosecution in north Jersey cannot be confirmed. Nothing surprises me when it comes to the level of mafia influence in Hudson County, especially. A New Jersey politician-businessman Anthony Chiappone is only the latest official charged with stealing, allegedly, in Mr. Chiappone's case it was $8,000.
Mr. De Fazio in Hudson County -- a prosecutor I knew and respected -- may no longer be interested in such "politically sensitive" matters as they obstruct his road to a judgeship. I hope this is not the case. However, the signs in Hudson County are not good. Things are getting worse by the day in Jersey City. ("New Jersey Official Convicted in Corruption Case.")
Given the rumors about this typical and aptly named New Jersey sewer rat, Mayor "Steele," this is a fraction of what he allegedly scammed during his years in office. $120,000 pales by comparison with what his partners in crime yank out of the system every year. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")
Senator Bob's farrago about getting federal help with New Jersey Transit's nightmare will not help commuters forced to cough up their hard earned cash for increased fares -- unless they're Jersey politicians -- to get from Perth Amboy to a job in the city. Not everyone is as "lucky" with money as Senator Bob. ("Is Senator Menendez a Suspect in Mafia-Political Murder in New Jersey?")
The increased fees for New Jersey train commuters is balanced by the opportunity to purchase consumer goods at the non-existent Xanadu mall for which $2 BILLION has been or is about to be spent. "EnCap?" ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Senator Bob Loves Xanadu!")
"As the owner of a New York City company pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges on Monday, several lawyers said it was rare for a company to face such serious charges in connection with a fatal accident." ("Does New Jersey's Latest Mafia Informer Know Jaynee LaVecchia?" and "New Jersey's Xanadu Mess.")
"The Indictment of James F. Lomma" -- known, unofficially and allegedly, as "Jimmy-the-weasel" -- "the owner of New York Crane and Equipment Corporation, which was made public on Monday, stemmed from the fatal collapse of one of his cranes on East 91st Street in May 2008." ("Organized Group in New Jersey's State Police" and "More Mafia Members Arrested in N.J. and N.Y.")
Efforts to recruit Mr. Lomma for a political career have not been successful. Hiram Monserrate? When repairs to a crane that would normally cost several hundred thousand dollars are made by a guy named "Phil" in Bayonne, New Jersey for what Mr. Lomma would describe as "twenty grand plus all the doughnuts he can eat," some alarms should go off for crane owners. ("F.B.I. Initiates Multiple Investigations in North Bergen, New Jersey" and "North Bergen, New Jersey is the Home of La Cosa Nostra.")
The result of this "thrift" on the part of the fun-loving Mr. Lomma was the deaths resulting from this crane accident. The use of such equipment, perhaps, along with allegations in the media that Columbo family trucking companies (protected by New Jersey politicians) are asking for kickbacks may explain why the World Trade Center project can not get off the ground. ("Law is Dead in New Jersey" and "More Democrats Arrested in New Jersey.")
This trophy project and location -- the site of the 9/11 tragedy -- is symbolic of America's predicament and decline. We cannot control organized crime, politics is gridlocked because of internecidal struggles promoted by mafia and other crime groups, while the national interest suffers, and people get away with murder. ("More Mafia Figures Arrested in New Jersey" and "New Jersey is the Home of Child Molesters.")
We must do better than this, Mr. Holder. Are we really powerless to prevent this public censorship, suppressions of speech and vandalism of written "work"? I hope not.
