14. The government artificially restricting court “sitting days” - effectively closing perfectly usable courtrooms and forcing judges to stay at home, to make a tiny saving on court staff.

For those just browsing into this post, I just wanna put it out there that the scandal wasn't simply McGreevey having a gay affair (married at the time), it's that he gave his lover a no-show job. Just straight up corruption.

The good news, is that also like Cuomo, he's probably gonna get demolished in the election. He got 24% of the vote in a 4-way race (29, 24, 21, 18) and 3rd & 4th place both endorse Solomon, and nearly everyone I've seen locally has said "fuck it, voting JS. Anybody but McGreevey."

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. that's what i get for rostering ferg

Got a slowmo of that? Looked good in real time and I missed any that they showed
