A Jersey City fire inspector got what you may call an 'unhappy finish'

Phillip Procaccino was a Jersey City fire inspector with the key word in that sentence being "was." Procaccino it turns out was taking bribes from massage parlors in order to receive occupancy certificates and would also tip off the owners of the joy houses when any kind of inspection was coming, whether it be from police or other city officials so they might hide any evidence of what was really going on at the sites. Procaccino, had previously worked as a zoning inspector for the Jersey City Department of Housing, Economic Development and Commerce's Zoning Division, so one might say he's one of those city employees who was a jack of all trades yet master of none. When asked about his long service to the city, Jersey City spokespersona Jennifer Morrill had this to say:

"Procaccino was a long-time city employee hired by the previous administration who worked in various departments.''

An unhappy finish all the way around then...
