IOW, you cannot trust people who were raised poor to be in government.

This was the most bizarre -- and frankly racist -- excuse for corruption I have ever heard.

For those who do not know, the Mayor Pro-Tem (Vice Mayor) plead guilty to massive corruptions, taking a slew of bribes in exchange for awarding huge contracts to his buddies.

Both Caraway and Rawlings are holder's people.

One has to wonder when John Wylie Price’s name will come up again...

I can’t imagine there being corruption nearby and him not have a part in it.

Economic inclusion. Is that a technical term?

We learn more everyday about the depths of moral rot in our country, sickening.

Next is the Hillary Defense “I didn’t intend to steal, the money just stuck to my hands and forced its way into my pockets.” “Yeah, that’s the ticket”

It’s been the Chicago Way for 150 yrs., at least.

Very well written article, took talent and a rubber spine to NOT include part affiliation, a dimocrat. We all know if the roles were reversed how many times we would see the word “republican”

God includes everyone in His commandments. He commands: “You shall not steal.” There are no excuses or alibis based on race or class.

The corruption endemic to big city governments is such low hanging fruit for an enterprising young journalist. You wouldn’t even have to try very hard to find it & make acareer for yourself.

What a shame! A modern day “Les Miserable.” He did for his loaf of bread... Is it his fault today’s loaf of bread is $450,000?

“...public servants...”

Stop calling paid government parasites “public servants”! They serve no others but themselves! EVER!!

This phrase needs to be abolished.

I wonder how he would defend Ray Nagin’s conduct as mayor of New Orleans (which ultimately landed him in jail)?

My wife just heard Rawlings’ statement on WBAP too and couldn’t believe it. Really disgraceful!

“Both Caraway and Rawlings are holder’s people”

Isn’t Rawlings white?

Dallas has had a few of these yahoos who used to work with Detroit mayor Coleman Young, came to Dallas and got all political, got caught and are now in prison.

I am sure John Wylie Price just welcomed those crooks to Dallas with open arms.

They must think we are their own personal ATM machine.

Both Caraway and Rawlings are holder's people.

If by "holder's people" you mean black, you might want to take another look at Rawlings.
