granted mortgages to Percoco, Howe and John Regan, Howe's former lobbying partner in Washington during the 2000s, who would

economic development job under Glaser in 2012.

Economic Development Corporations for advice on the most crucial projects in their areas, instead of having the state dictate where the money would
