You Won’t Believe Who’s Leading The Race To Replace Baltimore’s Last Corrupt Mayor
When Baltimore’s previous mayor, Catherine Pugh left office, it was because she was preparing to do a three year stretch in prison for scamming nearly a million dollars out of various organizations using her self-published children’s books. ...
At this point, it’s worth reminding everyone that Charm City has been on something of a bad luck streak in terms of mayors for several years now. Ever since Martin O’Malley left to become governor, it’s been all downhill from there. He was replaced by Sheila Dixon, who was forced out of office after being convicted of embezzlement. She was replaced by Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who didn’t even bother trying for a second term after she let the city burn down around her during the Freddie Gray riots. (She’s now a campaign co-chair for Mike Bloomberg.) And she was followed by Ms. Pugh.
So who is currently leading in the polls to replace Jack Young as Baltimore’s next mayor? It’s none other than… Sheila Dixon. Yes, the same Sheila Dixon mentioned above who was convicted of embezzlement. And no… I’m not even kidding. ...
I think the clickbaity headline has substantial reality underlying it.

Sounds about right. She embezzled rich people's money(wink, wink) and she was trying to get over. Feed her hongry kids.Get her a little piece of what The Man has been stealing from The People all these years. Nothing wrong with that

Has there ever before been a political party for which corruption was a resume-enhancer?
