As noted below, there aren’t many Republicans wrapped up in today’s corruption arrests, but there are a few, and Chris Christie and his running mate are telling Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt to hit the road: “Now more than ever, New Jersey needs elected officials who are committed to honesty, integrity and a higher standard of ethics. Assemblyman Van Pelt has failed the people he was elected to serve and has violated their trust. He has no other choice but to resign immediately and allow the people of Ocean County to elect an official who will put the people before personal self-interest.”
