ORIGINAL: TheHeretic Well, this thread explains why 59 is spamming the board again. And there's so much more... Patrick Cannon, who rose from public housing to become mayor of North Carolina’s largest city, was charged Wednesday by federal authorities. They said he accepted tens of thousands of dollars in bribes – including $20,000 in cash delivered in a briefcase last month to the mayor’s office in a meeting where he solicited $1 million more. Cannon, a 49-year-old Democrat who took office only four months ago, was scheduled to show up at a luxury apartment in SouthPark for yet another payoff from what he thought were businessmen needing his influence in city matters, according to an affidavit. ~Charlotte Observer Except they weren't, and now he's needing a lawyer.
