BOOTH CUTS A DEAL Jersey City-Sources close to Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham said that Corporation Council Alex Booth has agreed to resign at the end of this month. Booth and Cunningham have agreed on basic terms though not disclosed, freeing Booth to return to private practice where his earning power is far greater than as City Attorney. Booth’s brother Jay was named in testimony by Bob Janiszewski in testimony during the corruption trial of Freeholder Nidia Davila Colon as one of the co-conspirators of Organized Crime, The Hudson County Democratic Organization. Alex Booth’s resignation is not necessarily related to the incrimination of brother Jay. Alex Booth was a key player in the opposition to the Cunningham administration by the Keystone Council, dominated by Bob Menendez, the head of Organized Crime. Booth’s agreement to resign can only be seen as a retracement of the influence of the HCDO after the recent primary election dominated by Cunningham and his ticket.
