Two More Mayors against Guns Bite the Dust

Story here. Allentown mayor Ed Pawlowshi is charged with fifty counts of corruption-related charges, bribery, and with gaining $150,000 in "pay to play" schemes. Former Reading mayor Vaughn Spencer is charged with a dozen counts.

According to the US Attorney, "The mayor of Allentown and the former mayor of Reading charged in the two indictments unsealed today sold their offices to the highest bidder -- violating the trust and confidence of the citizens of their cities. Both mayors, working with other corrupt officials and businesspeople, directed lucrative contracts to companies who agreed to provide campaign contributions in exchange for work."
