Wish I'd read this kind of headline about Brooklyn's corrupt machine, run by Vito Lopez and his aide Steve Levin. Seems some political corruption in Newark, NJ has just gotten some people busted. From CNN:

(CNN) -- About 30 people...were arrested Thursday in a federal investigation of public corruption, the U.S. attorney's office in Newark, New Jersey, said...

Among those arrested in the public corruption portion of the investigation are Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, New Jersey Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt and Leona Beldini, a Jersey City deputy mayor.

Several rabbis in New York and New Jersey also were arrested in connection with the money-laundering portion of the investigation.

More details from BBC News:

The news agency Associated Press spoke to a congregation member of a synagogue in Deal, a seaside borough in New Jersey, which was reportedly raided by agents from the FBI, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and local prosecutors' office...

Agents also removed several boxes from the nearby yeshiva, a school that educates the children of Sephardic Jews, AP reported.

Interesting!

Presumably more to follow. Someday maybe we'll see Brooklyn cleaned up too.
