Who is Robert Knapp to be slinging mud? He currently holds 3 government jobs for a total salary of $108,463. 1) Hudson County-$88,296, 2) NJ City University-$3,750 3) East Newark Borough-$16,417 (but he lives in Jersey City). This is a step down for Mr. Knapp from a couple of years ago, when he actually had 4 government paychecks (he was spokesperson for HC Sheriff Juan Perez).

Anyway, my own take at this point is to give the benefit of the doubt to Steve. I would think that he checked the facts behind McGreevey reinsertion skills before he made such an appointment. In that case he has my full approval, hope and responsibility needs to be spread at all corners of the city.

+1 on that besides, McGreevey's tenure will be scrutinized not just by JC residents but the media as well. He was written up my big news organizations and I think it's in his best interest to keep it legit.

Is Governor McGreevey not qualified for this position? Who would you or your king Fletcher appoint to head a prisoner reentry program? I know Fletcher is a Newt Gingrich supporter so likely wouldn't want to waste money on prisoner reentry, but not sure about you.

Yvonne is just bitter about the election, and with her shining knight Fletcher will be criticizing everything that is done right up until election day.

anonymous highway rest stop sex? tipping into code for homosexuals as sexual deviants? there is nothing to back this up. stick to facts and away from baiting.

I have no problem with it as long as he doesn't try and bring in his former employees Henne and Matsikoudis. Two Team Healy stooges.

If you check the index in the book, The Soprano State, McGreevey, he is mentioned in billboard deals, boss connections, cronyism, ethics concerns, judicial appointments, organized crime connections, parole board influences, tax issues, travel excesses. Since this book is about the culture of corruption, why are we putting someone on the payroll that is a symbol of that corruption? I remember Fulop's words to Healy that "there is a 79 year old grandmother in jail." Fulop was referring to the cultural of corruption in Bid Rig. Simply put, JC is being used to pad McGreevey's pension. The last 3 years of work is counted for pension payout. I guess McGreevey's pay at the jail was too low for retirement.

Laying it on a bit thick. Anything to do with the fact he's a gay pro-choice lapsed Catholic? Can't get much worse than that in your eyes, right Yvonne?

The guy has more than earned a second chance. Stop casting stones.
