Northwest Indiana Discussion

So another corrupt northern Lake County Democrat is going to the Pen. What else is new?

I wonder if the Feds will be watching him so he doesn't slip off to Puerto Rico, or to Greece to be with Frankie K.?

Someone needs to watch McDermotts re-election pot to make sure that within the next 10 days, there is not a sudden rise in the amount in the pot

I thought that mailman guy was responsible for the mayor's pot stash.

HA HA HA

That was good mirage

State Rep. Frank Mrvan deserves kudos for authoring the state law that removed Pabey from office as soon as the guilty verdict was rendered. According to the Times story, the courtroom was filled with EC dept. heads. This makes the second conviction of an EC public official this week. EC Library head Manuel Montavlo and his wife were both convicted of charges stemming from an arrest in Chicago earlier this week. The story also contains a link to a video taken during the arrest. It's pretty sad that EC can't do a better job of selecting residents to work in local government. http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/east-chicago/article_5a1af707-b0ca-5023-83a2-91b78a8c8eed.html
