Corruption… in Jersey?
Former Atlantic City Mayor Robert Levy has plead guilty to bilking the Veteran’s Affairs department of nearly $25K. More from a story posted on CNN.com:
The 60-year-old Democrat claimed he was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Parachutists Badge and successfully completed the Airborne School with more than 100 jumps.
He claimed that he had twice been abandoned in the jungle by his troops for several weeks, which he cited as the basis for suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
It turns out that Levy claimed he was in the Green Berets in Vietnam when he was actually enlisted only. I guess he was dreaming big after watching First Blood and Rambo First Blood Part II, hell I pretended to be a Ninja after all of the ’80’s Ninja movies, but then again, I wasn’t elected mayor of AC.
What is really surprising (so far) is that this is the only corruption reported on this clown.

Yo! We’re proud of our leading edge corruption here in the “State of Corruption.” The supreme court made us give up the “Garden State” moniker when they happened to look at the Jersey Meadows that are the inspiration for the naming of the Meadowlands sports complex. I’m proud to have been born a couple of miles away from the lovely Hackensack River.
