Jersey politics

In an interesting piece in the WS Journal about New jersey politics, there is fascinating paragraph:

Union City received an extra $13 million in extra funding to help with this year’s $103 million budget, along with special authorization to use some of that money to offset local property taxes. Stack denies political deals were in place and said he’s only spoken with the governor twice since the 2009 election.

Union City receives extra money while the state is retrenching, and no special favors? C'mon, Mayor. And he and the Governor do not have to speak for deals to be made: does the phrase plausible deniability ring a chime?
