The Government of Hudson County, New Jersey (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from The Government of Hudson County, New Jersey Hudson County is one of the two counties of the first class in the State of New Jersey. In point of population it is the largest county in the State but in respect to its area it is the smallest. The cost per inhabitant for the government of the county in 1913 was $3.30, which was an increase of $1.32 per capita since 1908. The per capita wealth of the county in 1913 was $977.68, and in 1908 was $820.85, showing an increase of $106.83 in the per capita wealth of the county for a period of five consecutive years. The county has had a rapid growth both in population and in economic wealth and the prospects are favorable for a still greater development due to its position as near neighbor to the City of New York, just across the Hudson. While Hudson County has grown to be the most populous of the twenty-one counties of the State, its history as a separate political unit dates from a much later period than that of the older counties of New Jersey. The first appearance of any county as a unit of local government in New Jersey was in 1675. Hudson County, however, did not become a separate county until 1840.

Soft Corruption

Pages : 315
Book Description
New Jersey has long been a breeding ground for political corruption, and most of it is perfectly legal. Public officials accept favors from lobbyists, give paid positions to relatives, and rig the electoral process to favor their cronies in a system where campaign money is used to buy government results. Such unethical behavior is known as “soft corruption,” and former New Jersey legislator William E. Schluter has been fighting it for the past fifty years. In this searing personal narrative, the former state senator recounts his fight to expose and reform these acts of government misconduct. Not afraid to cite specific cases of soft corruption in New Jersey politics, he paints a vivid portrait of public servants who care more about political power and personal gain than the public good. By recounting events that he witnessed firsthand in the Garden State, he provides dramatic illustrations of ills that afflict American politics nationwide. As he identifies five main forms of soft corruption, Schluter diagnoses the state government’s ethical malaise, and offers concrete policy suggestions for how it might be cured. Not simply a dive through the muck of New Jersey politics, Soft Corruption is an important first step to reforming our nation’s political system, a book that will inspire readers to demand that our elected officials can and must do better.

Me, Governor?
Author: Richard J. CodeyPublisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813550459
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
And so, a new chapter in the life of Richard J. Codey, an undertaker's son born and bred in the Garden State, began on the night of August 12, 2004--he knew from that point his life would never be the same . . . and it hasn't been. His memoir is a breezy, humorous, perceptive, and candid chronicle of local and state government from a man who lived among political movers and shakers for more than three decades. Codey became governor of New Jersey, succeeding James McGreevey, who resigned following a homosexual affair--a shattering scandal and set of circumstances that were bizarre, even for the home state of the Sopranos. At once a political autobiography, filled with lively, incisive anecdotes that record how Codey restored respectability and set a record for good politics and good government in a state so often tarnished, this is also the story about a man and his family.
