"Baltimore Mayor Sheila A. Dixon was charged today with 12 counts of felony theft, perjury, fraud and misconduct in office, becoming the city's first sitting mayor to be criminally indicted.

The case stems in part from at least $15,348 in gifts Dixon allegedly received from her former boyfriend, prominent city developer Ronald H. Lipscomb, while she was City Council president. She also is accused of using as much as $3,400 in gift cards, some donated to her office for distribution to "needy families," to purchase Best Buy electronics and other items for herself and her staff.

Lipscomb was not indicted in the Dixon case, but he and City Councilwoman Helen L. Holton were charged this week in a separate $12,500 bribery scheme. Both cases grew out of a nearly three-year probe by the state prosecutor into City Hall corruption.

The investigation has hung over Dixon, a Democrat."

Hey, the report actually says she was a democrat.

Isn't that not supposed to happen?

It can, this time they decided not to mention it until halfway in and then immediately follow it in the same paragraph with stories about things that they decided she did were positive.

The worse bias is subtle.

I thought most people would be able to discern which party she belonged to because -
(a)It was Baltimore (i watched 'The Wire' you know?)
(b)She was black
 
:cheer: Another corrupt politician nailed.

I am close to the opinion that politician and corrupt mean the same thing.
