Gerry Hebert, the Bailout King, has issued this press release. An interesting snippet: “Hebert also noted that Essex County has the highest percentage of minority voters of any local government that has sought or obtained a bailout. The County is nearly 40% African-American in population, according to the 2000 census. Hebert said that the substantial percentage of minority voters in Essex County should encourage other local governments to pursue a bailout.”
