The New York Times Bestseller Updated with the
Latest Scandals It's not a joke New Jersey leads
the country in corruption The Soprano State
details the you-couldn't-make-this-up true story of the
corruption that has pervaded New Jersey politics,
government, and business for the past thirty years. From
Jimmy Hoffa purportedly being buried somewhere beneath the
end zone in Giants Stadium, through allegations of a
thoroughly corrupt medical and dental university, through
Mafia influence at all levels, the Garden State might indeed
be better named after the HBO mobsters. Where else
would: - A state attorney general show up after police
pulled over her boyfriend who was driving without a valid
license? - A state senator and mayor of Newark (the
same guy) spend thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money on
a junket to Rio days before leaving office? - A
politically connected developer hire a prostitute to tape
sex acts with his own brother-in-law and then send the tape
to his sister? Only in the Soprano State.
