Lori Serrano, who lost her city council bid in May pleads not guilty to graft charges

In a case and then result we're all too familiar with here in Jersey City, council seat wannabe Lori Serrano, although on tape with Solomon Dwek telling him favors could be arranged for $10K, pled not guilty to conspiracy to commit extortion. Her attorney Raymond L. Hamlin says she's innocent despite what's on the tapes.

We remind everyone that of the 44 arrested in July in the sweeping corruption arrests, not one of the arrestees has been found not guilty or let off. They have all copped deals or await trials. Serrano is simply another in the long line of those who were willing to sell their support for a real estate plan rather cheaply if the FBI tapes are to be believed. It didn't seem to phase Serrano, you know, the possibility of jail time as she was seen laughing and joking around before her arraignment.

Stay classy, Lori.
