And yet another one bites the dust.
BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland's state prosecutor says a grand jury has indicted Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon on 12 counts, including perjury, theft
and misconduct in office. The prosecutor's office announced the indictment on its Web site on the final day of a four-month grand jury session in
which a City Council member and a prominent developer who once dated the mayor were indicted on public corruption charges. Dixon's attorneys say
they and the mayor will make statements later this afternoon.
Dixon, a Democrat, has been the target of a nearly three-year probe by State Prosecutor Robert A. Rohrbaugh into corruption at City Hall, an
investigation that has centered on allegations that Dixon has used her office to award lucrative contracts to various people including her sister, her
then-boyfriend and her former campaign chairman.
She was the first woman to run the city and she throws it all away. The Baltimore Sun article goe into great detail of the allegations against her
including using gift cards for herself instead of handing them out to needy families as was intended.
Politics suck everywhere and this investigation is slated to take many down with it.
