Convention no longer conducive to taking bribes

Here's the quote of the week, from U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, addressing public officials Wednesday at the state League of Municipalities convention in Atlantic City. By way of context, the convention has been a convenient meeting place for those prone to offering bribes and those prone to taking them, including some of the Monmouth County officials snared in Operation Bid Rig.
Christie's quote: "Let me urge you. I can be no more direct than this. If over the next couple of days someone approaches you with an envelope of cash looking to seek some type of favor from you, unless it is your mommy, turn and run for the ocean. It's probably us."
