Mobster Removed from Union Job Hired by New Jersey City Government

Tony Soprano would be proud of his old home state, New Jersey. Apparently the Council members of Paramus Borough, New Jersey hired as their new borough administrator a mobster who was once cast out of his union job by the Feds.
Anthony Iacono was removed from his union job in 1996:
The monitor in 1996 removed Agathos as president of Local 69 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union in Secaucus, asserting that he maintained mob ties and embezzled funds.
Yet the Paramus Borough Council said that they would hire Iacono for the $135,000 a year job even if they had bothered to look into his past.
So, you see, crime DOES pay… at least in the Soprano’s New Jersey.
