That just confirms my belief that there's not many politicians that you could trust there...if any, a well deserved punishment I guess.
He was a mayor for 24 years ? Wow, is that possible? Maybe it is a small city...
$200,000 in cash and gifts is too small for his time in the position.
In a good interpretation, he turned corrupted in the last years 🤔
