Memphis, Tenn. (WHBQ)- Even before the ink dried on the last criminal complaint, two more Memphis City Council members have an appointment with the law. The two council members were subpoenaed by a federal grand jury Friday afternoon, eight days after two other councilmen were accused of bribery.
Isn't Barbara getting a promotion to some real city job, or do I have here mixed up with someone else?
After the Feds are done cleaning up Memphis I wish they would tackle Philly corruption.
Not sure?
The interesting thing about her crying? She gave that speech the day two other councilman were arrested for accepting bribes - she knew there was trouble heading her way.
ha! Memphis is built on corruption, that's true, but Philly! Now that's too big for even the Feds to take on.
Not enough days in your lifetime. Memphis has always had corrupt politics.
They are a stupid lot on the city council, they let ford vote on his own censure! What dufus's.
