Plainfielders convinced that Union County is part and parcel of the corrupt practices highlighted in yesterday's massive 'Corruption Thursday' bust of mayors, Assemblymen and assorted government officials got no joy yesterday as the lengthening list of names published throughout the day failed to feature any Union County pols or operatives.
I was continually bombarded by email and cell yesterday -- 'Any Union County names'?
One caller said, 'I just want to hear two names' and then rattled off the name of a well-known county figure whose last name is composed of two words.
Sorry, folks.
No joy in Mudville just yet.
But PolitickerNJ's columnist Wally Edge recently noted that AG Anne Milgram is going after Democratic pols -- including Union County Dem chairperson Charlotte De Filippo (see here). The same day the Ledger ran a story about Milgram's expanding investigation into vote fraud in Essex County (see here), and another story noting that Senators Ray Lesniak and Nick Scutari were pushing back against Milgram's choice for civil rights chief (see here).
That would be the same Sen. Lesniak who set up a defense fund for De Filippo last May, which included as a co-founder Monmouth County Dem chair Nick Scudiery.
Wait a minute!
Monmouth County -- isn't that where Deal is located? One of the foci of the Corruption Thursday bust?
As environmentalist John Muir once said, 'everything is connected to everything'.
Ain't it so.

Dare I say that perhaps it's because the Union County persons in question really ARE above board and all the scuttle butt about corruption in Plainfield is a bunch of hogwash? Hogwash that has been generated by sore losers who have nothing to offer but rumors and innuendo? I'm just saying...
I know for a fact that a certain Plainfield politico is under investigation for corruption. I was contacted by an investigation officer looking for information, which I shared with him. These kind of investigations are kept hush-hush, because they don't want the villians to scurry to cover their tracks.
To 8:13am. No
Someone once said that if you tell a lie enough, you yourself will start believing it.
Such is the case for your dashed hopes Damon.
You can keep waiting. And waiting. And waiting. It is plain to see that you believe your own inuendos and your own lies.
I have a better suggestion: Hold your breath.
Ir is just a matter of time before you know who gets paid a visit by the Feds. Let's see if he does a blog post on this issue. He should since he often claims to be a "close friend" of the governor. The governor is dumping his "friends" and running for cover.
