Ledger Live: Historical Corruption Tour of Jersey City

[@bhk5150]

Political scandal? In Jersey City? Never!

[@kathleenhennesey2365]

My grandfather worked for Hague during the Depression and I was born in Margaret Hague Hospital. Charlie was a childhood friend. Shame on Jersey City for firing him. Facts are facts. Hudson County has always been colorful.

Kathleen Hennesey Hague Baby too!

I remember Mr.Markey very well; very nice gentleman,assisted me many times when I visited the New Jersey Room years ago.Sorry to here that he was let go after this event.

Special deputy US marshal, received a summons and complaint for Moriarity in 1971. The address I was given was on Saint Francis Place. When I went there to make service, it was one of his sisters that took it. She was a retired nurse, and a very nice lady Understand he also had a disabled sister.

From a former neighbor-hood from Jersey City Heights before it was a cool place to live: Great tour! But Hague, Whelan, Jordan and Smith did do some good. Hague gave us "Margaret Hague Hospital" where many were born. But you did forget Gangemi who was elected without even being a citizen.

[@Soulthinker2007]

Great tour.

[@robertfishman3742]

How many consecutive Jersey City mayors went to prison?

[@dajaved]

Brian Donohue rocks!

Unfortunately the end result was that Charley Markey got fired from his job at the JC Library. He had been a historian in the New Jersey room for years..... Neither Charley nor Brian thought this through..... not smart...

[@masonbreihan7416]

Frank Hague is my great great grandfather

[@robertafierro5592]

Brian Donahue! Everytime I used to see his little television van go by I'd Driop everything and start waving like a maniac. One day, I'll catch him at a light and explain that im the same woman..he must think, he's got all sorts of female admirers here in JC.!! TOO funny for words..

[@lappyo]

Awsome!

[@TheGradysDad]

My grandfather went to jail as part of the JC government....look up the last name Kunz in relationship to this topic...

[@tomsreviews238]

Whelan would have avoided jail or gotten a lesser sentence if he gave up the money but he wouldn't

[@hobbiesodd]

@JCtalkingpolitics Charley was fired over THIS? Isn't all this info public knowledge?
