In this Aug. 1, 2000 photo, Elnardo Webster, Director of Summer Youth Development Program, gives a pep talk to the kids before the Lacrosse clinic of the school district's new Summer Youth Development Program Activities at West Side Park in Newark, N.J. Soon after Cory Booker became mayor of Newark, Webster, his former campaign aide and law partner, authored a November 2006 memo recommending new watershed board members. The memo, written on law firm letterhead that still listed Booker as a partner, advised the mayor to appoint a businessman who had played college football with Webster.
