  1. Granted, Wilkerson and Turner are responsible for making bad choices, and it is magnified by their public roles in leadership to out communities. I can bet however, that the much, much, much bigger fish are watching this and are making plans to be more careful in their heftier corruption antics. This also shows that minority (or black) officials are struggling like the rest of the minority community and find it hard to pass up opportunities that will help them to survive. If you notice, Wilkerson and Turner are not "flashy". This is not to justify their actions, but "he who is without sin, cast the first stone".

  1. Double the fines for speeding in work area ? Why not double the penalties for elected and appointed government officials found guilty of criminal acts while in office?

    These two are just the beginning..and don't leave Finnerin out for his big dig "deals" Whites next, Rogers-DiMasi-Murray-Feeney and the rest of the crooked bastards... NOW !

    Put the legislature on a two day week (which is all they are working now anyway) and pay them accordingly.
