Defendant Shaw explained that defendant Beldini was ?very happy? with that meeting, but that she and JC Official 4?s ?problem? was that they could not ?take cash.? [b]Defendant Shaw suggested that the CW give defendant
Cheatam and defendant Shaw $5,000 each, and that defendant Cheatam and defendant Shaw would then [b]provide contribution checks to defendant Beldini and JC Official 4 totaling $10,000.

at a diner in Jersey City, defendant Cheatam and
defendant Shaw accepted $10,000 in cash each from the CW, including $5,000 a piece to ?convert? into contributions for JC Official 4

Defendant Beldini acknowledged the receipt of the $10,000 and explained that ?[w]hat we?re trying to do is put money into different funds so we can, when we need it, funnel it back into [JC Official 4's election fund]. Which everybody does.? Defendant Beldini added that she was the treasurer for JC Official 4?s reelection campaign and noted that ?I think it?s a max of 2,600 per person.? The CW responded ?ut we don?t have a problem with that,? prompting defendant Beldini to reply, ?I know.? The CW then clarified that ?I go through [defendant Shaw
and defendant Cheatam] with the cash, and they do whatever they got to do with you and [JC Official 4].? The CW expressed the CW?s understanding that[b] the first $10,000 would go to a Jersey City political committee and that the next $10,000 would go to JC Official 4's election fund, to which defendant Beldini replied, ?Perfect.?

Defendant Shaw agreed that defendant Shaw could help
the CW, and according to the CW, ?deal with [JC Official 4]? with ?the green? [meaning cash payments according to the CW and the context of this and other recordings] to ?stay under the radar? and to take the CW?s money to pay JC Official 4

Defendant Cheatam further explained, in substance, that depending on the outcome of the Jersey City mayoral election, incumbent JC Official 4 or a specific opponent of JC Official 4 would be important for the CW
to work with in Jersey City.

Anybody surprised no Healy on the list?

I'm looking for a GOOD auto body to pop out a rear quarter panel and repaint. I don't need a mechanic and no frame damage just a basic pop and paint job. Some numbnuts backed into me while gettign gas outside the Holland Tunnel.
2007 BMW so I need someone that is good at matching the paint.

So, again-if it's true, she's either an outright lawbreaker or an idiot, neither fit for office.

Are they accepting applications?

Jersey City cops are trying to track down a city police officer who was apparently involved in a domestic incident before leaving the scene in a private car, according to radio transmissions.

Police are trying to locate the officer, who is said to be carrying his service weapon, and they are keeping an eye out for his vehicle, radio transmissions said.

Officers have been told to bring the officer, who was not identified, to any police station other than the South District, where the other individual involved in the domestic incident was apparently brought.

Police Chief Tom Comey said he had no comment on the matter at this time.
