Jersey City Undisputed Champion of Corruption

Campaigns and Elections, a national magazine for political wags and policy wonks, writes up a bit on a century of Jersey City political corruption with flashbacks to the heavy hitters like Branden Byrne and Jerry McCann. Mayor Healy gets a special shout out too, though less for corruption and more for his antics:

In 2004, during a special mayoral election that Healy ultimately won, photos depicting the future mayor nude and drunkenly slumped on his front stoop were widely publicized after a neighbor with a camera phone captured several shots of him in full, unattired glory.

The in depth article is worth the read, though its probably more shocking for those unfamiliar with local politics.
