New Jersey Corruption Has Seton Hall Law Connection

Twitter is a twitter with news about the corruption scandal in New Jersey. To this point, 30 people have been taken into custody. The Newark-Star Ledger reports:

The arrests are the result of a two-year FBI and IRS probe that began with an investigation of money transfers by members of the Syrian enclaves in Deal and Brooklyn. Those arrested this morning include key religious leaders in the tight-knit, wealthy communities.

Political corruption is always exciting. Unless it happens in New Jersey, New York, or Illinois. Then, it’s somewhat expected.
Two New Jersey mayors have been caught up in this investigation. Not Newark mayor, the first next black president Cory Booker. But Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, and Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell.
A tipster reports that Mayor Cammarano has brought shame to our Seton Hall readers:

He and his wife are 2002 Seton Hall Law grads and he won in an election closer than the MN Senatorial election.

On the bright side, if you are a rising 3L at Seton Hall Law, it looks like some more jobs will be opening up in your community.
