Democratic Councilwoman: ‘Corzine [looked] the other way in the face of corruption for his own political benefit.’

Even New Jersey Democrats are calling BS on Jon Corzine’s claim that he fought the corruption of Bergen County Democratic boss and convicted felon Joseph Ferriero. The Chris Christie campaign is distributing this comment from Democratic Garfield councilwoman Tana Raymond, responding to Corzine’s attempts to distance himself from Joe Ferriero:

For years, Jon Corzine facilitated the corrupt leadership of Joseph Ferriero at the Bergen County Democratic Organization with hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial contributions. Even as Corzine preached ethics reform in public, his actions enabled the corrupt status quo and completely contradicted his words. It’s ridiculous for the governor to attempt to play off his financial contributions to Ferriero as something other than what they actually were — Corzine looking the other way in the face of corruption for his own political benefit.
