Hudson County Fact: In April of 1981, a grand jury indicted Union City Mayor and State Senator William Musto on 36 counts of racketeering, extortion and fraud. He was convicted on March 26, 1982. On May 10, 1982, Musto was sentenced to seven years in prison. During the trial, Musto campaigned for the the City Commission of Union City. Popularity unspoiled by the legal turmoil, he won reelection on May 11, 1982 -- defeating one-time ally (and now US Senator), Bob Menendez. After the courts removed Bill from office, the Musto name retained its magic in the voting booth. William Musto's wife, Rhyta, won the subsequent special election. |
