In this photo taken on 2007 we can see the new town attorney Gilberto Garcia with Acosta. They had been friend for years. Acosta needed an ally in the administration of Mayor Roque to advance his agenda of corruption, so he convinced Mayor Roque that Julio Morejon was bad news. Julio Morejon the former attorney of West New York did not want to lose his license rubber stamping Acosta's agenda so he resigned from the position. Didn't Mayor Roque on a mailer sent during the election promised "to put the residents of West New York first - not his friends." I guess he meant all Acosta's friends.
