Racine - Authorities seeking felony charges against Mayor Gary Becker say the 51-year-old married father of two, who ran unopposed for re-election two years ago, used the Internet to try to arrange a sexual liaison with what he thought was a teen girl.
Taken into custody at Brookfield Square mall Tuesday evening, Becker became one of the more than 475 people arrested by the state's 10-year-old Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
By now, it is relatively widely known that investigators from the Division of Criminal Investigation pose as youths on the Internet, looking for adults who want to have sex with minors.
But according to a source familiar with the case, a criminal investigation of Becker was begun before Christmas after he brought a personal computer to City Hall and asked city workers to fix a problem with it.

No mention of political party in title, subtitle, first sentence, or first paragraph.
I therefore assume he is......a democrat.
You can email the good Mayor: gary.becker@cityofracine.org
ping (There they go again)
He’s a Democrat. I’m sure our professional journalists didn’t mention his party because that minor detail is not relevant.
The way it would have been if he was a pub.

Racine - Authorities seeking felony charges against Republican Mayor Gary Becker say the 51-year-old married father of two, who ran unopposed for re-election as a republican two years ago, used the Internet to try to arrange a sexual liaison with what he thought was a teen girl.
Taken into custody at Brookfield Square mall Tuesday evening, the republican Becker became one of the more than 475 people arrested by the state’s 10-year-old Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
“By now, it is relatively widely known that investigators from the Division of Criminal Investigation pose as youths on the Internet, looking for adults who want to have sex with minors.”
Obviously he has never seen the “To Catch a Predator” stories by Nightline. What a turd!
This Perp MUST be a Democrat - since the rag’s headline downplays the charge as a “sex sting”...
Left out of the headline is the fact this DEMOCRAT Mayor was seeking sex with CHILDREN and was involved in CHILD PORNOGRAPHY....
From the article:
“Based on a statement from the state task force, Becker could face at least six charges, including child enticement, possession of child pornography, attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child and misconduct in public office.”
How can anyone doubt this clown is from the Obamanation?
too bad the urinal sentimental does not allow the posting of comments for their articles, huh?
Had this been a Republican such as Scott Walker or some other Republican, they would have been all over the paper with this. I hate the print media.
‘Taken into custody at Brookfield Square mall Tuesday evening, the republican Becker became one of the more than 475 people arrested by the state’s 10-year-old Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.’
Pssst. You forgot ‘Evangelical’ as in ‘the Evangelical Republican became one of the more than 475 arrested...’
Anybody keeping tabs on the number of ‘Rat politicians who have been arrested/indicted in the last few years?
Republican Mayor arrested for sex with children and possessing child pornography.

The NY Times mentioned he was a Democrat in the first paragraph in the above story...of course, the above story is from 2006 and is a positive story on Becker
its only relevant for Republicans
And, since he’s a lib/dem - it’s just about sex.
That, my FRiend, would require me to quit my job to devote enough time to it.
