Baltimore Mayor Indicted

Sphere: Related Content

Another scandal for a politician but I just can't seem to figure out what party she's from. Welcome to the latest version of Guess That Party!:

Baltimore Mayor Sheila A. Dixon was charged today in a 12-count indictment, according to the Maryland State Prosecutor's Office's Web site.

Dixon was charged with perjury, theft, fraudulent misappropriation and misconduct, stemming from gifts she received from former boyfriend and developer Ronald H. Lipscomb, who was also charged earlier this week.

Dixon 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.
Found it. I'm shocked, she's a Democrat!

Update: She was a particularly heinous scumbag politician it appears.
