Are these the faces of Democrat state and local leaders?
FBI agents this morning rounded up 11 New Jersey public officials on bribery charges related to roofing and insurance contracts following an 18-month operation that swept the state from south to north, authorities said.
The investigation probed nearly every layer of government, beginning with the Pleasantville School Board in Atlantic County, and gradually widened to include state Assemblymen, mayors and current and former councilmen from Passaic and Essex counties, according to a statement from U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie.
The 11 officials are accused of accepting a total of $150,500 in bribes in exchange for agreeing to steer public contracts to companies that offered insurance brokerage or roofing services to school districts and municipalities, according to criminal complaints unsealed with the arrests.
They range from $5,000 to $32,000, according to sources close to the investigation who asked not to be identified.
Definitely Dems behaving badly AND on the take apparently.
