New York Times Retired Star-Ledger political columnist
Tom Moran shudders when he thinks about New Jersey, with its history of public corruption, without a strong Star-Ledger. "At least we could embarrass them and occasionally, the people would vote the bad guys out," he tells
David Carr. "It's a sad story not just for my friends who work at the paper. But for the state of New Jersey, if this continues, the bad guys will have a lot less to worry about."
