Peter Cammarano, who resigned as mayor of Hoboken due to accusations that he took $25,000 in bribes during his 21-and-a-half days in office, got a nifty payout from the city: According to the Jersey Journal, "Cammarano received $12,904.04 for his one month as Hoboken mayor, according to city payroll records. Of that $12,904, $4,254.46 of it was paid to Cammarano for his unused vacation days... He was inaugurated on July 1, 2009 and his resignation was effective at noon on Friday, July 31. On his last day in office, Cammarano was paid for half a day. Acting Mayor Dawn Zimmer was sworn in later that day." You know how many unused vacation days? Twelve—he got all of them, they weren't pro-rated or anything! That's super generous of Hoboken.

And then one wonders why people laugh about New Jersey.
Agree, but then there's Rangel and Espada.
That's a pretty sweet deal.
...and now it will all be his lawyers' money.
Paraguay and Zimbabwe have NOTHING over Hoboken.
Please................ The state of New Jersey has had an open, ongoing political corruption team running for more than 10 years now.
The harder you look, the more you find.
NJ is one of the most diligent states when it comes to this issue.
NY (as well as many other states) turn a blind eye because they would rather avoid the bad press than actually deal with reality.
NY knows better than to taint their "good name" with actual investigations about such things.
Most of these bribes were from developers who wanted to be pushed to the top of the list.
No way in hell this is not going on in NY.
With that said, give me your witty snark & oh so clever one liners.
Truth is truth.
Totally untrue. Look at ground zero and you will see no corruption and mismanagement at all.
