Urban Renewal Corruption

Filed under: General — Dan Gookin @ 3:42 pm

This time, it’s from New Jersey, though the scenario could play anywhere: Corrupt public officials offer public land for sale to developers for pennies on the dollar. The developers then turn around and make millions in profit, kicking a bit back to their government pals as a thank-you.

I’m sure that when critics pointed this out, they were called names by local, left-wing bloggers. And I’m sure the sweet old ladies on the City Council said, “But look at all the good we do!” Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they’re going to jail for “doing good,” thankyouvermuch.
