More NJ Democrat Corruption: Funded by Jon Corzine

Another Democrat NJ politician is going to jail for corruption. From the Philadelphia Enquirer:

A federal jury has found former northern New Jersey political boss Joseph Ferriero guilty of fraud conspiracy.

The panel returned its verdict Thursday, the third day of deliberations after a 2 1/2-week trial.

Ferriero, the former head of the Bergen County Democratic Organization, was convicted on one count of conspiracy to defraud and two counts of mail fraud.

You sometimes wonder how our 'political bosses' in New Jersey maintain their hold on power? From this article at the Corner on National Review:

Guess how much money Jon Corzine and his family gave to Ferriero over the years?

$441,600.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie held a conference call moments ago. Highlights:

I experienced a lot of these days and led the office when this case was indicted
. . . Joe Ferriero abused a position of trust and the position of trust of his co-conspirator in order to line his own pockets. His leadership of the Bergen County Democratic Organization was a disgrace . . . This should be a day of great joy in Bergen County.

So New Jersey, do you still believe that Christie is the one who throws his weight around? Corzine is concerned when Christie lends a friend money that gets paid back. Yet NJ voters don't care that everyone Corine pays off gets a cool half mil?

Sickening. You cannot fix corruption when you are funding it. Period.
