The corruption of the mayor and the city council (who should ALL be in jail with him) not only skimmed off a lot of money but they also prevented new money from coming in.

Good riddance. Sad part is that new white guy Duggan likely to be mayor is just as corrupt as Kwame.

I dunno'. I get the feeling this guy made the wrong enemy, somewhere. Like Bernie Madoff. If he'd been ripping off the life savings of trailer park people, he'd have gotten a slap on the wrist. But, he stole from people who matter and is the most evil criminal since Hitler!
