Corzine Acknowledges "Less Than $6 Million" In Gifts to Ex-Girlfriend

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.

The bad news is Corzine will raise your taxes. The good news is if you sleep with him, he’ll pay them for you.

ACORN brags how many state and local governments they successfully lobbied to enact a minimum wage law higher than the federal standard. And then ACORN gets nailed for not paying it's field workers less than the federal minimum wage.
Bastrads.

*Shew!* Thank God Corzine isn't a Republican. Otherwise, this would be playing ON EVERY EVENING NEWSCAST IN BROADCASTING.
Since Corzine is a 'rat, it'll be ignored.

I once (just once) bought an ex a latte. I think it was a tall/non-fat. But that pushes the limits of what I give my old girlfriends.

"I’ll sleep with Corzine for $3 million, half price."He probably snores and is a bed-wetter. Be prepared.

That is actually Jim McGreevy, possibly in drag.

to go away and keep her mouth shut.
He didn’t pay the whole amount upfront, but is dispensing it over time to keep her quiet.
Word was, some time ago, that she had video tapes of the governor on a drunk rant. He was using colorful language and being very-— ah-—— insensitive.
Never confirmed, that I’m aware of, but this theory fits the scenario.
