"I did nothing wrong at anytime."

Did nothing wrong?

In the complaint against Beldini (Healy's campaign treasurer), the informant makes it crystal clear to JC Official 4 / Healy that he is offering a total of $30K in exchange for political favors to expedite approval of his fake real estate project. Shaw, Cheatam (love the name), and Beldini take the money (paid in 10K installments) and launder it by dividing it up and giving it to separate ?donors? who then turn around and make individual campaign contributions to Healy's campaign of $2,500 each, i.e. within the legal limit of $2,600 for individual donors.

I can only think that the reason the Feds didn't arrest Healy yet is that they're hoping Beldini, Shaw, Cheatam or one of the other JC officials will flip Healy so they can further strengthen their case against him.

The WSJ links to a copy of the Beldini complaint:

Especially damning for Healy is item 23:
? 23. On or about April 30, 2009, defendant Beldini met defendant Shaw, defendant Cheatam, JC Official 4 and the CW at a luncheonette in Jersey City. Before defendant Beldini or JC Official 4 arrived, defendant Shaw was informed by the CW that the CW had brought $10,000 in cash that the CW would give to defendant Shaw after the meeting to arrange a contribution to JC Official 4. After defendant Beldini arrived, Beldini was informed by the CW that the CW would be applying for a zone change in approximately two months and to not let such application go to the ?bottom? of the pile, to which defendant Beldini responded that she could say ?one thing? about JC Official 4--JC Official 4 ?remembered? JC Official 4's ?friends,? and JC Official 4's word was ?gold.? Defendant Beldini further was advised that the CW would give defendant Shaw another $10,000 after the meeting and then, in turn, defendant Shaw would do ?business? with defendant Beldini. Defendant Beldini further was advised by the CW that the CW would give another $10,000 after the election. After JC Official 4 arrived, among other things, defendant Cheatam advised JC Official 4 that they would get development matters relating to the CW moving after the election. Shortly thereafter, defendant Cheatam advised JC Official 4 that the CW wanted to be on the ?top? of the ?pile.? JC Official 4 was further told by the CW that the CW: (a) had given $10,000 to defendant Shaw already (a reference to the March 20th payment of money to defendant Shaw); (b) would give another $10,000 to defendant Shaw that day to be passed on to JC Official 4's election fund; and (c) would give another $10,000 after the election, to which, JC Official 4 responded, among other things, that hopefully ?we? could work ?together? and that this would be ?mutually beneficial.? After defendant Beldini and JC Official 4 left, while outside the luncheonette, defendant Shaw told the CW that ?everybody? (to include defendant Beldini and JC Official 4) was as ?happy as hell.? Thereafter, defendant Shaw accepted $10,000 in cash from the CW to structure as political contributions to JC Official 4 as facilitated by defendant Beldini.?

This seems like a great time for Fulop to re-introduce his bill to end pay-to-play in JC. Maybe the rest of the council would be too afraid to vote against it this time since they're under such scrutiny.

I live across the street from this bodega, and I say sincerely that Mr. Parikh was the nicest, kindest man in town. He and his family worked at that store from 7am in the morning until 8pm at night every day of the week. I'm horrified and furious that someone who was so kind and worked so hard could be murdered in cold blood in broad daylight in our city, and I grieve terribly for him and his family.


Someone else wrote another short profile of Kenny from nj.com that shows how well-liked he was in our neighborhood....

I am a McNair Academic Alumni. I used to walk in the store and be greeted by the store owner everyday the same way. He used to say, "Ramlakhan!" with a huge smile on his face every time I walked in. He would know exactly what i came for; a Coconut Water (from Foco). He would always say thank you after the purchase and even sometime we would engage in mini conversations. He was open even to the latest hours when school was way past done and rarely any customers would come by. He worked and showed dedication to his customers and to his job. He was always positive and always asked if someone would need help. Its just ridiculous to see that such a man who worked so hard for his community and for his family is just taken off the earth with just a bullet or two. We need more people like him and the number of sincere beings such as this man is just constantly decreasing. In retrospect, i will miss this guy very much; may God not only seek justice, but guide him on the rest of his journey.
