New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D) paid the brother-in-law of his ex-girlfriend $15,000 to quit a Turnpike Authority job last January, the Newark Star Ledger reports. "At the time, reporters had been pressing Corzine's office for answers about [Rocco] Riccio's work record and how he got hired."
These revelations add to the scrutiny over numerous gifts Corzine gave Carla Katz, president of the largest state workers union, since their break-up in 2004 -- which Corzine did not disclose when he ran for governor in 2005. Corzine contends the gifts are a personal matter, and says the total was less than $6 million.

Looks like Howard Stern, not one of his bimbos..... you’d think a guy with Corzine’s fortune could do better, but maybe he’s just not such a shallow guy as to be deterred by a woman who looks like that.............

NJ voters like me are beyond jaded. Our state government is run by the Sopranos . Total out and out crooks,Menendez one of the worst of them . Most have 99 indictments against them but everybody is on the take or works for them soooooo..They keep electing the same thieves over and over again.

Many Jersey voters have been jaded for a very long time. Even the Republican Party has been under the thumb of the corrupt Democratic machine, but with Chris Christy bringing these crooks in one by one there is hope that the voters may wake up and start throwing the emcumbants out.
Two things that have to happen; 1. to find a way to prevent all the dead people, criminal aliens and pets who are registered to vote in North Jersey from voting; 2. to stop groups like ACORN and others from paying cash for votes in the cities.

Tax payer funded gifts? So, thats where the money is going? I don't believe so. It was his cash.
There was another ex that needed $5K bail as the result of getting arrested for stalking at 3 am. She called the Gov. The Gov came through. What a guy!
