Imagine if it had been about the money

“[Attorney Allen] Lowy said that he was not fazed by the suggestion that [New Jersey Gov. James] McGreevey might resign. He said he and Mr. [Golan] Cipel were not seeking a financial settlement, ‘We weren’t concerned with the money,’ Mr. Lowy said.” (David Kocieniewski, “A Governor’s Downfall, in 20 Wrenching Days”, New York Times, Aug. 15). “Sources in McGreevey’s administration said Saturday that Cipel originally demanded $50 million [to not press a harassment complaint] but the figure dropped to $5 million as negotiations progressed.” (”Man in N.J. Gov. Case Says He Is Straight”, AP/ABCNews.com, Aug. 15). More: New Jersey Law Journal, Sept. 8.
