George Norcross exploited ‘overwhelming political influence’ to extort rivals, prosecutors say in fight to allow charges to reach a jury
The attorney general's filing comes after Norcross and his codefendants urged a Mercer County judge to toss racketeering and extortion charges against them before trial.
www.inquirer.com
“By exploiting Norcross’s reputation for …influence across New Jersey, the Norcross Enterprise essentially took the Camden waterfront for itself. . . “That is not hard bargaining by any stretch, and the grand jury was well within its rights to call it extortion.” www.inquirer.com/news/new-jer...

The process basically boils down to Dems offering as many amendments as we can to try and strike down the worst spending cuts. So far Republicans have blocked every single one. Will keep you updated.
