This one in Dallas - I wonder what party they're from? Looks like another loverly bunch of corrupt Democrats to me. See here, what an inspiration is the would be Mayor. Several others appear here with the infamous but now mysteriously missing D after their names. Maybe we should start making them all Double-D's for Disgraced Democrats. More via Michelle, including links to previous items in Tenn and NJ.
Federal prosecutors this morning announced sweeping conspiracy charges against State Rep. Terri Hodge, former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill, low-income housing developer Brian Potashnik and 13 others.
The charges contained in a 166-page indictment include bribery and kickbacks that Hodge and Hill allegedly accepted in exchange for using their offices to help Potashnik's company, Southwest Housing, gain construction contracts.
In a separate indictment, prosecutors accused former council member James Fantroy and commercial developer Darren Reagan of embezzling federal funds in excess of $5,000 from Paul Quinn College.
Former city planning commissioner D'Angelo Lee and Sheila Farrington, Mr. Hill's wife, also were named, along with Cheryl Potashnik, Allen McGill, Jibreel Rashad, Rickey Robertson, Andrea Spencer, Ronald Slovacek, Kevin Dean and John Lewis.
How can I send a letter to the Dallas Morning News? I went to their site and tried but could not get to letter section.

All municipal position races in Texas are "non-partisan" by state law. However, most of the perps in this case are Donks....and black.
