“The mayor of a small town in suburban New Jersey who was recorded four years ago using racial slurs and saying he would never hire a female police officer was charged on Monday with two unrelated crimes linked to his private landscaping business,” the New York Times reports.
Sal Bonaccorso (R) “was charged with official misconduct and accused of using his township offices and Clark employees to help run his private landscaping and oil tank removal business.
Additionally, he is charged with forging an engineer’s signature on permit applications to remove underground storage tanks.”
