Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon indicted on perjury, theft charges -- baltimoresun.com
naturally, she's claiming to be innocent.
I know there's corruption in both major parties, but what is it with the democrats lately? Jim McGreevey, Kwame Kilpatrick, Blago, Bill Richardson, Tim Mahoney, and so on.
Baltimore Mayor Sheila A. Dixon was charged today by the state prosecutor in a 12-count indictment.
Dixon was charged with four counts of perjury and two counts of theft over $500, as well as theft under $500, fraudulent misappropriation by a fiduciary and misconduct in office. The charges stem in part from gifts she received from former boyfriend and developer Ronald H. Lipscomb, who was also charged earlier this week.
Dixon, a Democrat, has been the target of a nearly three-year probe by State Prosecutor Robert A. Rohrbaugh into corruption at City Hall, an investigation that has centered on allegations that Dixon has used her office to award lucrative contracts to various people including her sister, her then-boyfriend and her former campaign chairman.
