I heard this on WSB this morning. Caught me totally by surprise:
ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - Katrina Taylor-Parks, the deputy chief of staff for former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, collapsed in federal court while the judge announced her sentence as part of the Atlanta City Hall bribery scandal.
From another article:
ATLANTA - U.S. Attorney BJay Pak made it clear to Atlanta citizens that the joint FBI-IRS Atlanta City Hall bribery investigation is picking up steam, resources, and possibly more indictments.
I was unaware of how far along any of this was. I guess it should not be totally suprising that these happenings would not be emphasized too strongly down here.
Take heart. The game is afoot! Rooting out this corruption is literal door-to-door combat: one here...two there, but progress nonetheless.
On other fronts: Two newly-elected Repub goobernors took the oath of office yesterday. In Georgia it was Brian Kemp, and in my native Buckeye State it was Mike Dewine.
