A Maryland grand jury on Friday indicted Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon on 12 criminal counts, including theft and perjury, for alleged official misconduct beginning when she was a councilwoman.
A number of the charges relate to gifts that prosecutors say Ms. Dixon received from developers, including her former boyfriend, Ronald Lipscomb, and didn't properly disclose. Mr. Lipscomb isn't named in the indictment but was charged with bribery this week in Baltimore. His lawyer has said he is innocent.
In addition, the Maryland prosecutor's office charged that for four years Ms. Dixon misused holiday gift cards that were intended to be distributed to needy families. Prosecutors say she gave them to members of her staff and used them to buy herself electronics and clothing.....

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION!!
STEALING holiday gift cards intended for the needy???
Lady, you're lower than whale poop!!
Isn’t she the one who waved her shoe at a white city councilman saying “Now the shoe is on the other foot” or something like that?
Once you hate whitey, you never go back.
She wishes she was the one throwing shoes at President Bush.
ACORN should have kept a few GOP guys around to keep the investigators and prosecutors busy. LOL!!! Now it’s the ‘RATS’ turn to all go to jail.
A Rat? No way! According to the MSM, the corrupt ones are
always Republican. But I’m speaking to the choir.
The MSM can go to hell.
Don’t know about that one, but clearly we need someone with skills to churn out various posters and t-shirts and e-blasts of all the corrupt Demagogues..... theme is “Culture of Corruption”.....
Blagojevich, Wm. Jefferson, Kwame Kilpatrick, Mayor Dixon, so many others......
Notice that this article barely referenced Dixon’s party, only indirectly at the end when referring to a “fellow Democrat” (I’m sure the reporter simply made a mistake on mentioning it that time.....)
And it takes EIGHT paragraphs to indirectly state she is a dem.
Wow! Another Democratic mayor or governor indicted for corruption. I’m shocked; appalled!
It’s getting crowded in prison. So many Democrats, so little space. “We’re gonna need more prisons.”
Hey Bubba, you got a new roommate.
>>Once you hate whitey, you never go back.

Racist/s
Let me be the first to say —
Elect a Republican!
The same in Illinois for Obama’s seat.
The rebuilding of the Republican party needs to start in these smaller spots.
Let’s roll!
"I was born a poor black child...."
Awww, how can you even think in your wildest dreams she's guilty? She's disenfranchised....oppressed....discriminated against....she's anything but a thieving, crooked, POS politician.
I can’t help it if FR’s search function doesn’t function properly — I searched the title, got no results, Google News said it was from the past 30 minutes...... seemed like an important story in the context of all the Democrat corruption and the need to get more of the public to see the realities of the cesspool of the Democrats................sorry I haven’t been on FR for the past six hours..........
Women and minorities hardest hit.
She’s such a good person..... she stole holiday gift cards intended for needy families, and used them for shopping sprees for her own enjoyment.
Guess she thought that Scrooge is better than Santa Claus, and that the needy should just get by with less..... despite all the rhetoric we see from Demagogues, when it comes down to it they are often the most greedy and selfish SOBs around — and continually pretend otherwise.
Thanks, I didn’t search a word, I searched the exact title. I see an article on the subject was posted 5 hours before you posted a thread on the matter, so I guess I’m not the only one who didn’t search for “Baltimore” before posting a thread..... :^)
