There has been enough smoke aorund the feet of White to wonder if there is a fire indeed. The finances for his personal use and the sexual harrasment suit, now this.

Heck, it is more efficient to assume these guys are guilty till proven innocient. But the third serios accusation does begin to question.

You know, the FBI lusts after this guy but would they be willing to hang their hat on a scumbag like Cox?. I wonder to if White is dirty, but Testerman is a better investigative reporter than any I have seen and this is weak for him. Don’t make a deal with the Devil just to get diciples. If White is dirty nail his ass, but do it with evidence.

Alyssa Ogden’s lawsuit says White at least twice asked her to give him a kiss while at County Center, and in one case, he pulled her toward him, then threw a stack of $100 bills at her when she refused, saying, “Just take it, just give me a chance.”
Cox told the Times his arrangement with White included giving him an additional $7,000 to help win his run-off election in 2003.
Question for the FBI – do you see the connection now?

If White gets returned to the private sector, we might wind up with a *actual* Democrat in that seat.

I thought we proved with the Kuhn incident that this kind of bribing was tolerated and accepted, event encouraged?

This is why the city counil is in charge of every urban planning issue, becuase if not thee would be less of a need to bribe them. That would, what did Brian Blair say a while back…that would be “taking food out of their families mouths”.
