This is great...
DeCroce wins unless Codey accepts, then we really see who's telling the truth.
Good to see the Assembly Republicans have some life in them after all..
Norcross of the South
Is he trying to rid himself of the North - maybe we can hook him up to the lie detector as well.
codey
will probably defer to his lawyer again and declare that he can't take a polygraph on the advice of counsel. Besides, you can't take the fifth on a lie detector test administered by the ledger. No way Codey takes the ledger up on this offer.
DeCroce should say he's not going if Codey doesn't go, it will make the ledger lean on Codey which is something they are loathe to do.
more than a new copier.
Codey should've just sent DeCroce a new copier.
Looks like the GOP finally grew a backbone. They used to take the table-scraps and be happy about it.
When Someone Gonna Look at Codey's Insurance Biz??
The guy made millions as an insurance broker for local towns and government entities. Bet if you look at the money he doled out, it will make Wayne Bryant look like a boy scout!
Codey will pass with flying colors
Q: Did you threaten Alex Decroce?
Codey: Mishmosh.
Q: Did you try to co-opt Republicans by offering them some grant money?
Codey: Pishposh.
Q: Did you put Wayne Bryant in charge of the Budget Committee?
Codey: I coach basketball, you know.
Q: Did you have any idea what Bryant was up to?
Codey: Aw, shucks. I'm just a regular guy.
Q: Did you put Joe Coniglio in charge of the committee that handles ethics legislation?
Codey: Hey, as long as the Scarlet Knights are doing well!
Q: Did you inappropriately give an unelected party boss discretion over the distribution of taxpayer money?
Codey: I have my own bobblehead on the Senate President's podium. Ain't that folksy?
Q: Did you inappropriately get money from property tax payers through your insurance business?
Codey: Aw shucks. Basketball. Scarlet Knights. Mishmosh. Regular guy.
Q: Is that steam coming out of your ears?
Veritas...
This exchange is hilarious!!! I just spit up in my morning coffee. Poor codey-I guess the chickens are coming home to roost!
I've heard of early birds, but . . .
That's what you get for drinking coffee during the hour of the wolf!
4:27 am? Sheesh!
