United States District Court in New Jersey has the criminal complaint…

On or about May 16, 2006, defendant CALLAWAY met Official 1 and CW-1 in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey to discuss CW-1. After discussing opportunities for CW-1 to obtain insurance brokerage work from the PBOE, the conversation turned to defendant CALLAWAY’s campaign for Pleasantville City Council. CW-1 asked defendant CALLAWAY and Official 1: “What do you guys need from us? Tell us what we need to do.” Defendant CALLAWAY replied, “it’s always the money issue . . . At least ten grand would get us over the hump.” Defendant CALLAWAY later stated that he expected to receive donations first, and then he would give those seeking business with the PBOE a “shot at the opportunities for contracts.”

6. During the same conversation, the parties discussed that insurance brokerage commissions received as a result of a PBOE insurance contract could be kicked bak to defendant CALLAWAY, Official 1 and others through an intermediary. In response, defendant CALLAWAY stated that such an arrangement would be “beneficial” to them. Defendant CALLAWAY further explained that he needed money quickly because the primary election for Pleasantville City Council was approaching.

This scandal is part of the Democrat New Jersey 11 that were busted in a political corruption sting. The FBI set up a fake company in which it offered to pay out bribes to officials in that state… the New Jersey Attorney General’s office has made all the complaints available. Word is that this sting has only scratched the surface of the corruption in the state that they call ‘the armpit of the nation’, which ironically happens to be one of the most solidly liberal states in the union.
