Healy defeated his closest competitor, former Assemblyman Louis Manzo, who tallied only 26 percent of the vote, winning another term as Jersey City's mayor, according to the Hudson County Clerk's Office.

The government rested its bribery and extortion case Thursday against Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini in the first trial stemming from New Jersey's largest ever public corruption sting. Federal prosecutors wrapped up their case -- after four witnesses and the airing of 32 video and wiretap clips -- by presenting additional testimony about the $20,000 in cash bribes that was allegedly funneled through straw donors to campaign accounts for Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy's reelection last spring.
A federal appeals court has upheld the convictions of a former Jersey City deputy mayor who was found guilty of accepting $20,000 in bribes while serving as campaign treasurer for Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy. It's not clear whether Tuesday's decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will affect Leona Beldini's three-year prison sentence. She had been permitted to remain free on bail pending the outcome of her appeal.
Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy acknowledged Friday that he is mysterious "JC Official 4" mentioned prominently in a federal extortion complaint against the city's deputy mayor and housing authority commissioner and a Hudson County political consultant.

Two Jersey City officials were indicted Thursday - the first to face grand jury action in the wake of last month's massive public corruption roundup - on charges of plotting to shake down a would- be developer seeking official favors from Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy.

Standing amid the broom-clutching protesters outside Jersey City Hall last Tuesday was the city's former Republican mayor, Bret Schundler, greeting well-wishers and offering commentary on the corruption crisis that has engulfed his adopted city. Among his topics: Jerramiah Healy, the Democratic mayor and the mysterious "JC Official 4" mentioned in the massive federal extortion complaint against a group of Jersey City officials on July 23. Healy wasn't charged and he has denied any wrongdoing, but his critics say the case has irreparably damaged Healy's ability to remain in office.
