Did any of the media outlets identify Mayor Gilliam’s race? Didn’t think so.

This scum in POS NJ is nothing and is part and parcel. Atlantic City will just replace one felon with another. The crime is that he was caught.

It’s an old pattern in New Jersey. The HBO series, Boardwalk Empire, was based upon an actual political figure, Nucky Johnson, who ran Atlantic City during the Prohibition era. Even before Prohibition, and after it, they found ways to get around other vices like prostitution and gambling.

Newark has Atlantic City beat. 5 consecutive mayors convicted. Could Cory Booker wind up being number 6?
