I don’t understand what is news worthy about
corruption in politics. They go together like
hammer and sickle.

A NEWS story you never hear is when a politician
behaves ethically. They’re out there, but the
media won’t print it because they are usually
Republicans or Christians.

Officials: Philly non-profit chief stole $400,000 meant to feed kids
By Sam Wood

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

The president of a Philadelphia day care center has been arrested and charged with cheating the state out of more than $400,000 earmarked to feed needy children and using the money to fund an extravagant lifestyle, authorities said today.

Tyron B. Ali, president of the non-profit Logan Child Care Resource Center on North Broad Street, was charged with more than 2,000 counts including forgery, tampering with public records and criminal conspiracy.

Ali, who was arrested Thursday, was being held last night at the Dauphin County Jail after failing to post $750,000 bail.
