Bridgegate convictions to be appealed at the US Supreme Court. Any local trickle down in the offing?

“The scandal, dubbed ‘Bridgegate’ derailed Christie’s 2016 presidential bid, led to criminal convictions for two of his top aides, damaged the credibility of the Port Authority, and reinforced New Jersey’s reputation as a cesspool of political corruption. It also left state taxpayers on the hook for more than $15 million in legal fees.

“Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide if prosecutors misapplied the law at the outset.”   (ABC News*)

You may recall that we had our own Bridgegate in Ocean Grove when some microcephalics from A. Park decided to complain about our bridge locks.  Despite predictions by others to the contrary, Blogfinger was right in dismissing that baloney festival.

A. Park has enough nonsense going on over there. They would be better off cleaning Wesley Lake and keeping a close eye on their developers.

And as for the quote that refers to “New Jersey’s reputation as a cesspool of political corruption,”*  there have been A. Park politicians and one from Neptune who have gone to jail  not too long ago because of corruption.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire—we saw that when the White Whale burned to the ground. And that story is not over. Do you suppose the Home Groaners are keeping their eyes out for more smoke in the Grove?
