Will Corzine be James' character reference at sentencing?

I'm sure there were some good works done by Sharpe. He was, after all, there for nearly 2 decades.

The arena is nice, even if the money was better spent elsewhere.

While James did much good, he also took liberties to push and manipulate people in and out of his office. Inhis day, he WAS a force to be reckoned with. You could never disagree with him. You simply weren't allowed to.

It's no surprise that the financial genius who is our governor would quickly point out Sharpe James' good works. Mr. Corzine is incredibly out of touch and this proves it. Who needs a governor like this?

Until the people of New Jersey put leaders in elected office who will exhibit zero tolerance for corruption, there will be no change in the "Soprano State". The conduct of Sharpe James should have been met with outrage by the Governor and every official on down the line. His conviction should be celebrated because justice is being served. This toleration and excuse for conducting the public's business this way has earned us this reputation for cheap political corruption that has been recounted over and over again. When will politicians realize that public office is not to be used as a vehicle for a "get rich quick" scheme? When Chris Christie comes a knocking. On The Waterfront since 1954

Please tell me you are kidding when you say South Jersey will do a better job developing Camden.  There aren't enough empty jail cells to accomodate all of the corrupt officials in South Jersey and the residents of Camden have been the victims of their greed.  Camden is a casebook example of what happens when politicians put their own interests before the interests of the people they serve.
