Commissioner Chris Reilly had his hindmost parts handed to him for the second time in a congressional race (first time was in 2000 when he came in dead last).
He is a self described "conservative" but was part of a county government cabal that balanced the county general fund budget through overcharging the INS about 3:1 for housing immigration detainees at the county do-right.
He and his colleagues bragged so much about their little graft at Uncle Sam's expense that the federal auditors did what they were supposed to do and demanded repayment of much of the overcharges. Result: A substantial property tax increase.
CINO!
Glad to see him given the smackdown again.
I knew Perry was the annointed man and Reilly would have a tough fight on his hands as well as the upstart trial lawyer Summers.
But the last robocall I got from Perry featured the voice of Todd Platts praising Perry.
Perry will be another Platts meandering all over the place.
