HARRISBURG - Philadelphia prosecutors plan to announce criminal charges Tuesday against two more elected officials ensnared in the undercover sting investigation that state Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane rejected as too flawed to prosecute.
District Attorney Seth Williams is expected to announce charges against State Reps. Vanessa Lowery Brown and Ronald G. Waters, both Philadelphia Democrats, for allegedly accepting cash from an undercover operative, according to people familiar with the matter.
Waters' attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., said he was making arrangements for Waters to turn himself in Tuesday morning.
Perri said he expects Waters will face felony charges of conflict of interest and bribery, but declined further comment.

Do they still get to keep their jobs while in jail?
They are Dems, after all.
It's the only one that they have.
DemocRats. Color me surprised.
That is why it will be tried in federal court.
They may if the legislature seats them. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3237529/posts
Most state constitutions have a provision that the legislature may reject any of their members.
Philadelphia politics are looking like Detroits.....it can only go down from here....
What a dumb looking pair! Typical libtards!
....”all of the future convicts are black. She believes that in and of itself constitutes a reason not to prosecute”....
Phila has fast become another Government run like Detroit and by similar people who know how to “play the system”......when you are raised to believe society owes you...that doesn’t leave just because you’ve landed a cushy job.
Detroit’s Collapse is 100 Percent Because of it’s 89 Percent Black Population ...they can’t creating any jobs or wealth, relying on the state to provide EBT cards/Food Stamps, Welfare, and federal aid/federal grants to keep the city limping along....while they continue to skim the cream off the top.
Black people will vote for black people if they are the best person for the job or not....and they’re always liberal demorats...if you vote out the liberal/Demorats in Phila then you loose the blacks from “diversity” in it’s Governance...it’s a catch 22.
The racial makeup of the city as of 2012 was:
44.3% Black
36.6% White
6.8% Asian
2.3% from other races
3.2% Mixed Race
0.2% Native American
13.0% of the population were Hispanic and Latino.
Kane ran in 2012 making Corbett the issue and his handling of the Sandusky case. Corbett convened the grand jury and began the Sandusky case when he was AG before he was elected governor.
Kane ran seven points ahead of other Dems and four ahead of Obama on this issue and got elected....
She didn’t win because of that. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
How’d I know?
They can’t breathe!
Its the real history of what happened. Kane attacked Corbett during her campaign in 2012 for the length of the grand jury investigation, saying charges against Sandusky should have been brought sooner.
Penn State-Joe Paterno fans had their own sinister theories about what Corbett did or didn’t do that led to Sandusky being charged in 2011 and Penn State football-Paterno sanctions from the NCAA, one year before Kane’s election as AG.
I heard them in the lunchroom and on talk shows saying they would vote for Kane on that basis.
That’s my experience with the situation.
Kane was an attractive female who spent a ton of her own family's money on the campaign.
Truly remarkable how many FReepers are completely unhinged when it comes to Penn State.
I’m not but others are.
Republican Congressman Glenn Thompson ran 13 points ahead of Republican Governor Tom Corbett in Centre County (PSU) on election day this year.
Those crazy PSU fans elected Kane in 2012 and Wolf in 2014.
You’re a head case.
To get away from name calling, I said Tom Wolf beat Tom Corbett because of Penn State football fans.
What’s your explanation of how Corbett lost re-election when Republicans won everywhere else, they even elected a governor in Maryland, a senator in West Virginia and so on?
Most excellent presentation of data. You have clearly been watching this one...
Partisan tolerance of corrupt politicians is even worse in urban areas lorded over by only one Party.. Corruption and cronyism is killing us.
