One of the 44 arrested in the corruption roundup of last week has turned up dead

Jersey City political consultant Jack Shaw who was arrested last week in the Hudson County corruption sting has died. NJ.com is reporting Shaw was found at home with several bottles of pills nearby.

Shaw was charged with taking 10 large from disgraced real estate developer turned informant Solomon Dwek and also suggesting another 10 grand be donated to another Jersey City official.

We don't make it a practice to speak ill of the dead unless they really deserve it and it certainly appears Shaw has run his race and that race ended tonight. Officials have not said if Shaw's death was a suicide.

I hope no honest people were hurt.

Well I was doing some reading and apparently he had the beetus and worried about his own health so it's premature to call this an OD.

We shall see what we shall see...
