What is even more interesting is that local KYW news radio played clips of Councilman Mariano today which included the last statement in the article regarding why he is a target of the investigation. The print version, however, edits out the first part of the sentence. He said that he was a target in the investigation because "I don't have enough skin pigmentation", obviously referring to Mayor Street's being ruled out a target in the "pay for play" scandal that resulted in Corey Kemp's conviction among others.
If they suspect money laundering, he's big with the unions and I wonder if he may be tied to the mob?
