Spicuzzo faces corruption rap

I can’t say I’m surprised by this. There have been whispers for a long time about the power of the Middlesex County Democrats and exactly what it is that power was being used for.

It’s too early to know how this is going to play out, but it seems that three things need to happen:
1. Joseph Spicuzzo needs to step down as county sheriff immediately.
2. Joseph Spicuzzo needs to step down as county party chairman.
3. The county Democrats need to purge their leadership of Spicuzzo loyalists and start fresh.

Anything less would be to tacitly endorse what Spicuzzo has been accused of doing.
