BALTIMORE — Mayor Sheila Dixon of Baltimore was indicted Friday, accused of stealing gift cards donated to the city for needy families and failing to report trips, fur coats and other luxuries paid for by a local developer who was her former boyfriend.

The indictment, which follows a nearly three-year state investigation, charges that from 2003, when she was City Council president, until shortly after she became the first woman to be elected mayor of Baltimore, in 2007, Ms. Dixon, a Democrat, committed perjury, theft, fraudulent misappropriation and misconduct in office.

She is charged with using at least $2,000 in donated gift cards for Target and Best Buy to buy a digital camcorder, a PlayStation 2, an Xbox 360 and other electronic devices for her personal use and failing to disclose her trips to New York, Chicago and other places with a prominent developer, Ronald H. Lipscomb.

Another big supporter of Obama indicted. Stealing from the poort to give to herself.

Girls just wanna have fun.

Hopefully this will be left here and not relegated to the “Maryland” news thread like the other ones. When the dem mayor of a large dem city is indicted, I think everyone might want to know about it.

This is clearly untrue and obviously racist.

Obeying the law is for the little people.

You can take the thug out of the ghetto, but you can't always get the ghetto out of the thug...

[Maelstorm]

She looks like a harmless Huckstable.

[mplsconservative]

Leftism is like corrosive battery-acid to your soul.

[Maelstorm]

man she looks hot in makeup. ;-)

[Maelstorm]

lol Yes it always is.

[river rat]

Wow!
That picture really brings home the say: “You can put lipstick on a pig - but you’ve still got a pig”.

There appears to be no light behind those eye — only a void.

[shiva]

Another ‘magic negro’.

[denydenydeny]

Gift cards? Sharpe James and Kwame Kilpatrick are laughing at her.

[Hilltop]

Nah, she’s black. Same as Larry Langford, here in Birmingham.

Barely makes the radar.

[Man50D]

That should earn her a promotion within the Democrat party.

[4yearlurker]

All this means is that she has a life time position in Baltimore politics. Just think Marion Barry.

What season of “The Wire” was this? Oh, it’s NOT fiction?
