make reference to that in interviews. we thought we would take a closer look and here is a closer story. this for decades, what you re looking at, was perhaps the most coveted slice of real estate in all of new jersey, a priceless patch of 16 empty acres situated at the edge of the george washington bridge, the gateway to new york city, smack in the middle of ft. lee. 16 acres of land that has a rich and tortured history. nearly 40 years ago a previous mayor of ft. lee, burt ross, pictured on the right on the screen there, he was approached by allegedly mob-linked developers and he was made an offer that was awfully hard to refu refuse. give them the rights to slap a high rise on that land, those 16 acres, and he would give them a million dollars. burt ross didn t want that money but he did wear a wire for the feds and those crooked developers went to jail. a book was even written about this called the bribe.
night. you have two big races. you mentioned earlier mark pryor against tom cotton, a sfat race and who controls the senate. the other big race down here is mike ross who if you remember was actually a congressman, a democratic congressman from arkansas now running for governor. he was actually bill clinton s driver back in the 80s. he s running against asa hutchinson, one of the impeachment managers. they are running hin a big race here. two hours south of little rock. everyone feels like they have to really attend even though ross and hutchison, it s only cotton and pryor who got to speak. not only is there a summer but there s a raccoon supper, there s a presupper event now, too. almost a day long event here in gillett, a town of 621 people. do they eat anything funny at the presupper where they have chipmunks or squirrels or
