07/23/09 11:28 AM ET
A member of Gov. Jon Corzine's (D) cabinet left office today as a result of a series of corruption arrests made Thursday morning that included two mayors, a state assemblyman, and clergy members.
The AP reported this afternoon that Corzine asked Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria to resign and that Doria complied with the request.
Doria's involvement in the scandal was not immediately clear.
Officials were arrested on charges that they participated in an international money laundering organization that trafficked human organs, among other items.
Corzine is currently locked in a tough battle for reelection with former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie (R).If anything, this news cannot help the Corzine campaign.
