understanding NJ corruption

[wooly bugger 1]

Theoretical questions

1) how much does it cost to buy a legislator? Looking at Mainor's funding, he was his biggest donor, followed by NJEA ($2500), and then various individuals ($500.) That's not so much compared with the price tag for a federal legislator

2) how much does it cost to buy a CCW? That's just pure curiosity. I can't afford it, and even if I could, I wouldn't play that game. Just wondering how much a police chief costs.

 

Why can't they just be transparent and post a price list?

That would be Bob Menendez's job, but he's too busy doing underage girls to care about his constituents.

It's the DemoRat way!

I think it's a superior court Judge you have to get to approve a CCW, not a police chief... And they're appointed, not elected and not supposed to take bribes.

Then what do you have do for the superior court Judge? I assumed it was like NYC. I doubt Li'l Wayne or some Hollywood star can do much for a judge. All they've got is money.

You know, you have a good point. We could probably buy his corrupt a$$ for $5K or so. But, after yesterday, the idea of donating $10K to any future political rival has more appeal, since it appears that such a donation would be significant for an assembly race.

Why don't we buy a billboard instead asking him how much it costs to buy him, for all the people to see. At least he will be on the defensive now, let him explain that on TV, that what the billboard says isn't true.

The idea of a super-PAC has been discussed elsewhere, and I think we need to find out who's vulnerable. Mainor killed in both the primaries and election, so I think he's untouchable.

 

However, look at Cryan. Killed his Republican opponent, but close primary. I doubt his competitor would be much better, but it would send a very strong message if we could unseat him, and his opponent would be on notice. Check out the ballotpedia on him.

His district is 33% Hispanic, and both primary opponents have Spanish names (I don't mean to jump to conclusions. Just trying to generate ideas here.) Could a few thousand dollars in Spanish language ads and door to door knocking tip the balance???

I AM NOT soliciting donations, just letting you know, I will be running against Mainor. I am gathering all the paperwork necessary and have an appointment next week to go to Trenton to get all the filings correct, etc.

Let us know what we need to do to assist you!!

I'm not anywhere near your district... But I know a few people up that way. I can let them know there is a good guy.

First hurdle will be getting 100 registered voters in the 31st district on a petition. But that petition is not available from the state yet, unless you are going to run as a Dem or Repub, which I am not sure I am going to do.

[Bowling Ball 22]

If you ran as a democrat against Mainor, is there a chance at winning the primaries?

[millsan1 3]

4000 votes would do it

[Bowling Ball 22]

Ok, then that's the key I think, to run as a democrat, get into the 'machine'... I think that district only votes democratic am I right?

[millsan1 3]

11,000 - 3,000 in 2011

[Bowling Ball 22]

Exactly, you must run as a 'democrat' in order to win. I think once your on the ticket its an automatic win. If we did this a few times we could actually take back our state!

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck.....

 

Who on here has unfettered access to LexisNexis and similar databases?

 

Find out what Det. Mainor doesn't want the public to know

 

Godspeed

HM Murdock - What do you want to know about Mainor? Let me know.

Didn't someone say there are 45,000 FID Card holders in Jersey City alone? Run as a Pro - Self Defense Democrat.

 

Ill donate to your campaign.

It's my understanding that he was elected twice in a landslide without real opposition from outside his party. Therefore his background has not been exposed and combed through as thoroughly as it might have been in a more balanced election. I believe this to be true of many of the elected officials from gerrymandered districts in NJ. While I don't think unquestionable proof of corruption or incompetence will unseat them in their own district this November it would be nice to present this proof in whole to voters in more balanced districts who may be increasingly frustrated at the corruption that proliferates unabated from the NJ Democrat Party machine.

 

Combing through Mainor's history in the legal databases is a start to finding the skeletons in his closet.

 

As for Cryan.. I know better to go near that organization, especially as an individual.
