Title: This is New Jersey!!
Post by: Alondro on September 06, 2007, 11:38:19 PM
New Jersey, the Backroom Deal State, strikes again!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070906/ap_on_re_us/corruption_arrests;_ylt=AmOFV6aqvyYM0dynmKJBVl8XIr0F

Yep, over 100 state government people arrested so far this year.  So far... and they're just scratching the surface. 

Every joke you have ever heard about New Jersey is not joking.  They're all very true.  We don't laugh when we hear the jokes.  We simply shake our heads sadly, for we know it's the grim reality of the most corrupt state in the US.  For instance, a $6 billion school building program ended up building only one school... on contaminated soil... and had to be torn down.  All the rest of the money just disappeared.  Well, that's not entirely true.  A good chunk went to politically-connected lawyers and consultants for their outrageous fees advising how to spend the money (on their fees, apparently), and about $300 million was stolen by parties in the Camden school system.

Anyone want to move here?   :P

I live inside the Pine Barrens.  At least the North Jersey twits are all afraid to come in after us.

We'd eat them.   >:3
