I seriously wondered why that hadn't happened, yet. I didn't know it already had.

Did they get fucked over on social media?
I almost posted this question last night as well. Knew it was only a matter of time. My bet was that it wouldn't make it to Christmas.

Go to the FB page that I posted earlier. Take a look at how the original weed being removed hasn't done shit to stop people from celebrating their Christmas spirit at the same spot.

Doesn't mean those kids don't need a public thrashing.

4 Toledo city counsel members arrested by the FBI, this morning. No reason why aside from "bribery," yet.

https://www.13abc.com/content/news/Four ... 62741.html

Here's my crazy, wild-ass guess: the last decade there have been several infrastructure projects with 3+ year timelines. This is horseshit, these projects should have been 6 months long, tops. I always suspected someone was getting paid off for an overblown budget and time multiple years of job security. So that's my guess, and I'm sure I'm wrong.

Scuttlebutt is "bribes from local business owners for favorable treatment in votes," so my guess is still alive.

I am SHOCKED!!!! Toledo is a Democrat stronghold and these people swap different elected jobs every few years, back and forth, back and forth. There's simply no way they're corrupt!

Did I even need to mark that statement with a sarcasm tag?

Toledo politicians are so corrupt one of the larger retailer chains, I forget who as this was 15 or so years ago, made a public statement about how they would love to come to Toledo, but they don't want to pay the city council their bribes.

If these four are dirty, and I'm 100% sure they are, then I guarantee all their cronies throughout the local government were fully aware and probably also in on it.

1000000% agree, and I'm not kidding even a little bit.

Small time bribery and payoffs. Probably added up, over the years.

But I still say it doesn't take three fucking years to build a new bridge over train tracks. Someone's nephew is making a shitload of graft money. And that's just one of four projects I'm aware of in Toledo with 2+ year timeframes.

I assure you this shit goes much, much deeper than all of that. These are just the charges they can make a case about.

There were two at least $5k.
