Gift card scandal could sink Baltimore mayor (AP)

AP - The accusations that Mayor Sheila Dixon used holiday gift cards for the needy during personal shopping sprees may sound like a minor embarrassment at worst, a small-time case of a politician enjoying the perks of power. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

Well AP shows its talents again in reporting. It is a must read story. You will get picture half way thru it. Hope she looks good in stripes... We should have an abuse of power law that is iron clad. Vote em out or jail em!
I prefer jail sentences.

This is old news. You mean to tell me that this case still hasn't been settled and her removed from office?

How shameful. Instead of being grateful for being able to put her daughter through college on her income, she verbally slaps in the face those who are unable to put their children through college. I agree, geraldB - jail sentences, all the way!

I don't feel the citizens of Baltimore are going to get a fair trial out of this. Dixon is black, the majority of Baltimore is black and the newpaper already reported that her attorney is probably going to try to get an all black, female jury if they can. If this is a jury of her peers then put the first 12 in the jury box, put the next two as alternates and tell the rest of the jurors they are dismissed and return to the jury selection room. I hate where a jury can be almost hand picked, that is not a jury of your peers. I would not want to be on the case because Dixon has proven time and time again she is liar and has done underhanded things. Look at how often she has hired companies that her sister worked/works for .. nuff said.
