looks like my home state is back in the news, this time for a corruption scandal involving everything from political payoffs to illegal organ transplants. awesome.
even more awesome, one of the scandals' epicenters is the town of deal, nj (which is basically just a stone's throw away from my parent's house.
it seems the deal yeshiva and the ohel yaacob synagogue on ocean avenue in deal were both raided this morning by the fbi, irs, and monmouth county prosecutor's office.
one of my favorite quotes:
"new jersey's corruption problem is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the nation," said ed kahrer, who heads the fbi's white collar and public corruption investigation division. "corruption is a cancer that is destroying the core values of this state."
yeah, good ol' nj core values.
it's really a shame that the sopranos are no longer on, cause i would have liked to have seen a storyline that included the syrian rabbis/jews of deal and organ trafficking.
