There are a lot of stories now about the mayor of Atlantic City who is missing. There is some issue apparently about his faking his war record to increase pension payments. Apparently that he was in Vietnam for two tours, and was awarded two broze stars is true. It is hard to tell what he lied about; it was something about him claiming the combat infantry badge when he didn't actually have it, or claiming to have been a Green Beret. None of the articles mentioned which political party he is in, so it is safe to assume he is a Democrat; if he was a Republican that would be noted in the headline. Most politicians in New Jersey are Democrats, and many of the ones in Atlantic City are in jail or are currently under indictment. This is no surprise since New Jersey is "Soprano" land, after all, where the mafia has a major presence.
