THE RECORD
The federal trial of former Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph A. Ferriero on kickback, bribery and racketeering charges has been delayed until Feb. 10.
Ferriero is accused of using his position and influence as party leader to extort $1.7 million from the previous developer of a Meadowlands retail/entertainment project formerly known as Xanadu.
Hmmm….sounds like a certain someone is beginning to sing like a canary in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence for alleged wrongdoing…?
