Democratic power broker and southern New Jersey insurance businessman George Norcross was indicted Monday in an alleged tax incentive development scheme.

Norcross, the brother of US Rep. Donald Norcross (D), used his position of influence in Camden, NJ to run a 12-year conspiracy to pressure, extort, and steer incentives towards certain individuals and business entities on the Camden waterfront, the state alleges.
