Dessert with Dwek

Did he or didn't he?


According to “The Jersey Sting,” by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Ted Sherman and Josh Margolin, a meeting was held in Jersey City's Lighthouse Tavern in 2009 attended by FBI informant Solomon Dwek and 3rd Ward City Councilman Mike Russo which was recorded by the FBI.

The disclosure of this meeting is guaranteed to ripple through Hoboken's City Council election with the many questions that cry out for answers.

Here's what we do know:


"Dwek was eating chocolate bread pudding with caramel ice cream".

That's a fact.

Dwek, the FBI informant who gave Peter Camarrano $25K in bribe money was sitting across the table for Mike Russo eating a tasty dessert.  This raises many serious questions:
  • Was Russo offered dessert? 
  •  If so, did he order it? If not, why not?
  • If Russo did eat dessert, was it the creme brulee, the molten lava cake or the apple breton?  Or the same as Dwek?  Did they share? Separate spoons or the same one passed back and forth?
  • Why are these desserts so expensive? GA could make a whole pan of bread pudding for less than 9 bucks. With the ice cream.  America's Choice, not Haagaen Dasz.
  • Why is Russo ordering dessert when he's a little.... uh, you know... um... 'stocky'?
  • Is chocolate bread pudding really better than plain?  Some recipes shouldn't be tampered with- like flan.  Who the hell wants chocolate in their flan? 
  • Does the  Lighthorse Tavern have better dessert than Hoboken's Malibu Diner?
  • WHY was Russo having dessert with the FBI informant in the first place?

Jesus Christ, those are hard questions!

Who could possibly answer all them... except for the LAST one.  Why Russo was meeting with Dwek.   That one's in the book:


He was there for cookies!   5,000 of them!  That's a lot of cookies.   I hear it's against the law to take so many at one time. Because when somebody gives you that many cookies, they want something in return. 

But Russo agreed to take 5,000 cookies that night.  It's on the FBI tape.

Well, imagine this: he never picked them up!  I'll bet those Girl Scouts were pissed. 

Why'd he change his mind?  

The cholesterol?  Carbs? His dad warning him to keep his hands out of the cookie jar?

Somebody, ask Councilman Russo.  Or his ally, Beth Mason.


On May 10th Vote for Greg Lincoln, the HONEST choice.

  1. I heard that some of the Russo goons plan to show up on Wednesday at the Malibu. Should be an interesting book signing.
