Four years ago, Jersey City Mayor Jeremiah Healy's political future looked bleak. Several of his political aides and allies were caught up in a massive federal corruption sting yet Healy escaped prosecution. Tomorrow, voters will go to the polls in Jersey City in an election that features a young challenger who is giving the political old guard a run for its money. But, the race is as much about the changes happening in Jersey City as it is about corruption.
