NEW YORK -- NewsChannel 4 has learned that New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey is planning on stepping down from office after more than 2 years of service.

N.J. Gov. McGreevey To Resign

McGreevey, a former prosecutor, came into office vowing to end corruption, but in recent months a number of his political aides and fundraisers have been accused of corruption ranging from alleged payoffs to hiring a prostitute.

McGreevey has not been accused of any wrongdoing, and has denied any wrongdoing in the past.

Should McGreevey indeed leave office, his successor under the state constitution would be Richard Codey, the current president of the state senate.

McGreevey, the state's 51st governor, took office 2 1/2 years ago, and despite inheriting a $5 billion budget deficit, he steadfastly refused to boost income taxes for most New Jerseyans, instead raising taxes on millionaires, casinos and cigarettes.

But he has been dogged by several scandals involving fund-raising.

1. has nothing to do with the prostitutes,

2. he's gay

3. has to do with sexual harassment with a former aide

Teenweek would be so proud.

What a pole smoker.

wow. just, wow.

His wife must feel like a complete chump.

NJ has the loopiest shit that goes on. let me tell you. be proud.

this is ... i am so fucked up right now

great story!

i think Laz said it best to me in IM. if Bush resigned I would have been less shocked.

he was the one pushing for rutgers/njit/umdnj to merge into one big state college, and it was pushed aside for a while when he saw no one was really for it (at least i think thats how that whole situation was going)
i guess its going to be pushed aside even more

I don't understand why, they all are lying scumbags. This just proves it once again.

Hey my property tax went down... loved the man.

i thought he was a good governor. one thing shouldn't have anything to do with the other.

So how long did you love him for?

i am amazed that NJ would let somebody be appointed head of homeland security who can't get FBI clearance. he was McGreevey;s cock pocket for a few years getting paid for jobs that he was totally unqualified for. good job nj, you guys make the south look better and better with each passing year

when Rudy was caught shacking up with his side piece was that before or after he was mayor?

Rudy is ten times worst. He had a security detail (2-4 NYPD Detectives) taking her to the Hampton's and other love nests.

rudy never put her in a position of power. we'll maybe power positions in the bedroom, but thats not the point
