Bergen County's top Dem, Joe Ferriero, is launching a personal campaign AGAINST pay-to-play reform, according to a report in the Bergen Record.
His timing is impeccable.
With Democrats from Hillary Clinton to Gov. Jon Corzine and Sen. Frank Lautenberg struggling to throw away tainted money from contributor Norman Hsu, Ferriero's assault on New Jersey's pay-to-play regulations may become front-page news in the coming days.
But probably not until after the Labor Day Weekend, a traditional pol-fest of activities.
Meanwhile, the national stories cite Hsu's contributions as having gotten through their 'vetting processes'.
Huh?
My experience of 'vetting processes' was this: You got the check. You deposited it. If it cleared (not always a sure thing), it was 'vetted'.
- Ledger: "Democrats seek to unload contributions from fugitive"
- NY Times: "Democrats Turn From Big Donor Who’s Fugitive"
- Bergen Record: "Democrats drop cash from fugitive donor"
- Bergen Record: "Ferriero support of pay-to-play stuns Democrats"
