Marlboro is a relatively small township; however, most of New Jersey is corrupt.
The mayors of several small to medium-size towns in Monmouth County were
recently indicted as the result of Federal sting operations and other
investigations. One is on record as telling one of the investigators "I can

the State will never do anything.

A couple weeks ago, we went to an open house at an estate a few blocks away.
Turns out that it was built by the guy who was the original model for "The
