Only in New Jersey, pity!
Don't get me wrong, influence peddling is an abomination a violation of the trust given those we entrust. However, in this state were the peddler to receive his unjust reward in the form of a political contribution rather than cash; no crime would be committed, no police force would be called, no investigation would be held and no one would lose a moments sleep. Pity!
