#3 It's amazing how city government seems to attract the corruptible. I remember some years ago when the city of Lackawanna (of Lackawanna Six fame) had three mayors: the outgoing one who'd lost the election refused to step down, the incoming winner of the election insisted on his rights, and a third man whose reason for claiming the job I never could figure out clamoured for recognition. Somehow, even though the Bethlehem Steel plant had closed, the job was still exceedingly lucrative beyond the pitiful salary the city could afford. And between the unions, the Poles, and the Italians, the African-Americans and the Yemenis don't have a chance to get their hands on the loot.

#5 OK, four posts in and not one mention of New Orleans' pre-Katrina mayor.........

#7 And here's our girl Tamika.

According to her lawyer...

Riley, a 38-year old entrepreneur from Jersey City, also was charged in the indictment with violating tax laws and fraud relating to federal housing assistance. She was arrested by IRS-CID agents in Jersey City this afternoon. Her attorney, Gerald Krovatin, called Riley "a strong and independent woman who has accomplished much" and who will ultimately be cleared of the "scurrilous charges."

I think "scurrilous" is lawyerese for "make us a deal"...
