It's a world famous News Roundup today!

And with so many news stories needing rounding up let's get to it.

* Jersey City mayor-elect Steve Fulop is rather upset about the money being doled out in terminal-leave payouts for retiring police chief Tom Comey and others ands is ordering a full audit. Fulop said some of these guys filed paperwork as if they hadn't taken a sick day in 30 years.

* Jersey City will have 12 sprinklers open this Memorial Day weekend along with both pools to cool off in (though the temps might not get much above 70).

* State alcohol authorities busted 29 NJ bars in "Operation Swill." They caught the bars putting lesser kinds of booze in high falutin' bottles and charged customers the premium price for swill. As if you needed yet another reason to NOT go to TGI Fridays, 13 of the 29 caught ripping off customers were indeed TGI Fridays.

* Truth is stranger than fiction. We send well wishes to the JC warehouse worker who had 1500 lbs. of pineapples fall on him.

* The New York Yankees and English Premiere League team Manchester City are going in together on the 20th Major League Soccer team scheduled to start pay in 2015. Somebody better tell the Yankees MLS has a shitty salary cap.
