Joe Cryan, the Chairman of the New Jersey Democratic Party and Deputy Majority Leader of the State Assembly, says he deeply disturbed by the number of Democrats involved in the FBI bust on Thursday.
Cryan spoke with Good Day NY on Friday.
Among the 44 people arrested were the mayors of Hoboken, Secaucus and Ridgefield along with the deputy mayor of Jersey City and two state assmeblymen.
All of the office holders busted are Democrats.
The arrest were a remarkable number even for New Jersey, where more than 130 public officials have pleaded guilty or have been convicted of corruption since 2001.
