Remember that sweet-heart 35% pay raise Corzine negotiated with the state employees union in a year they shut down government becaues of multi-billion dollar spending deficits?

And before that, remember the $470,000 "loan" that was actually a gift to his ex-girlfriend Carla Katz, president of the largest NJ state employees union?

Well, turns out, he was into her for more than $6 million according to the NY Times.   Is he just a wealthy sugar daddy like the Times implies?  Sugary daddies usually don't require teams of lawyers to negotiate their largesse.  So the question is, what does Katz have on Corzine?

The couple was in the midst of breaking up, one former confidante and colleague said, and Ms. Katz threatened to stage a news conference designed to embarrass Mr. Corzine, but soon calmed down.

Yeah, $6 million usually has a soothing effect.
