Former Hoboken Mayor Cammarano’s guilty plea anticipated

HOBOKEN AND BEYOND — One person who apparently won’t be voting in today’s school board elections is former Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, who was arrested in last July’s FBI corruption sting operation that netted 44 public officials and religious leaders.
After rumors circulated Monday afternoon that Cammarano may plead guilty on Tuesday, the Star-Ledger ran an article Monday night citing “two people briefed on the planned proceeding.”
The story noted: “Peter J. Cammarano III, the former mayor of Hoboken who spent just three weeks in office before being caught in last year’s sweeping FBI sting, is scheduled to plead guilty Tuesday before a federal judge in Newark, according to two people briefed on the planned proceeding. The 32-year-old Democrat was arrested in July along with scores of others and charged with taking $25,000 in illegal campaign contributions from an undercover informant posing as a developer trying to bribe public officials.”
