Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested Wednesday on federal public corruption laws after a four-year investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Charlotte announced.
Cannon was charged with theft and bribery after an FBI sting operation, said Anne Tompkins, U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.
FBI agents, working on a tip that Cannon, 47, was potentially involved in illegal activities, started an investigation in August 2010, Tompkins said in a statement.

Just more Democrat corruption. Who cares? Only racists. Just ask anyone at NBC News about this.
Nothing to see here, since somewhere, at some time 30-40 years ago, some republican was arrested for corruption, too.

Something coordinated is going on.
Last week it was the Rhode Island Speaker of the House. Today it's California state senator Leland Yee and Charlotte mayor Patrick Cannon.
Who's next? Does Eric Holder know this is going on?

When the media doesn’t say the party, we know it’s a democrat.

My thoughts as well. Are we possibly seeing an emergence of actual justice in this country that is ignoring holder and company?

I am guessing he is one of those Harry Reid types... no indication in the story...but maybe the mayor is a nonpartisan office
