11 Corrupt New Jersey Officials Arrested

It seems they were taking bribes in awarding state contracts.
All 11, plus a private individual, are accused of taking cash payments
of $1,500 to $17,500 to influence who received public contracts, according to
criminal complaints, said Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney
Christopher J. Christie.

This is real deal corruption where 11 different Democratic State officials in New Jersey took money for patronage. I wonder if this is going to get more press then that Senator Larry Craig BS. My bet is it will get swept under the rug and some of those guys will probably still have a political career this time next year.
