Ex-Hoboken Mayor Pleads Guilty To Extortion

2009_07_cammaranohl.jpg After resigning last year when he was ensnared in the feds' big corruption take-down, ex-Hoboken mayor Peter Cammarano still proclaimed his innocence. Until today: The Star-Ledger reports, "The 32-year-old Democrat said he accepted illegal campaign contributions from an undercover informant posing as a developer trying to bribe public officials. Cammarano, the youngest mayor in Hoboken history, spent just three weeks in office before being arrested. He now faces 24 to 30 months in prison." Fun fact: Cammarano managed to earn $12,000 for his three weeks in office, thanks to unused vacation time.
