[Janice Rael]

1) I told you so!
2) FINALLY, DUH.
3) Jeff Van Drew - that emmer effer is part of *this*
4) BridgeGate - and the quiet part: even Obama refused to oppose Chris Christie's 2nd term
5) They took ALL of South Jersey, not just Camden. And Clayton/Gloucester County should not be in CD-2 (gerrymandering)
6) These NJ Dems are the reason why there is NO TRAIN to Glassboro/GloCo, and why NJ Transit gets so little funding

New Jersey’s attorney general has charged influential Democratic power broker George Norcross with racketeering and other charges in connection with government issued tax credits, according to an indictment unsealed Monday.

Attorney General Matt Platkin announced the charges at a news conference in Trenton.

Norcross attended too, seated in the front row as Platkin laid out the state's case against him.

"We are here today to announce the unsealing of a 13 indictment charging George Norcross with leading a criminal enterprise," said Platkin on Monday.

In this case, Platikin said six people were charged with racketeering:

"The Norcross enterprise manipulated government programs and processes designed to attract development and investment to instead suit their financial desires," Platkin said. "Instead of contributing to the successes of the City of Camden, through a series of criminal acts alleged in the state's case, the Norcross enterprise took the Camden waterfront all for themselves."

Platkin said that the enterprise used power over government officials in order to craft legislation that would aid the Norcross enterprise in obtaining property and property rights along the Camden waterfront "through coercion, extortion, and other criminal acts."

In an 111-page indictment, Platkin said that the state laid out the reasons for the charges alleging that Norcross and others got property rights along the Camden waterfront and collected millions of dollars in state-backed tax credits.

Been there, fought that, told ya so, left the state.

Wow, it's crazy how long they've been getting away with this. Talk about weaponizing the law. Republicans clearly have it wrong. Instead of claiming the law was weaponized to charge actual felons, they ought to be ranting about this crap. This is a true example of legislation being weaponized against citizens. Insane!

Of course they won't because that would draw too much scrutiny towards their own actions....

Well, I'm glad the Norcross brothers and their associates are finally facing justice. That's for sure.
