Harsh words for political bosses from ex-governor

Richard J. Codey enjoyed wide popularity during a 14-month tenure as New Jersey’s governor. His reward: a clobbering by the Democratic machine after he returned to the state Senate, Codey says in his upcoming book. Codey said he was stripped of his Senate leadership by fellow Democrats in 2009 because Camden County power broker George Norcross and Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo teamed up to build support for an overhaul, settling old scores against Codey. http://bit.ly/dGdYWR
