Jersey City utility supervisor pleads guilty to taking bribes

And believe it or not, this had nothing to do with the graft arrests of two weeks ago, this was already being prosecuted. Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority supervisor Angela Bellizzi pled guilty to taking bribes in order to illegally help developers get bargain basement sewer connection permits. Bellizzi would falsify records showing a building had say two bedrooms instead of three.

Bellizzi actually pleaded guilty to the charge of extortion. Nice. She faces up to almost 4 years in the clink. She had disgracefully been doing her job in Jersey City since 1992.
