I have been derelict on my duty to keep an eye on Mayors being arrested. And here we have the latest one!
Jasiel Correia, the 27-year-old Democrat mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts, was arrested Friday on charges of fraud, extortion, bribery, and filing false tax returns
…
Within months of becoming mayor in January 2016, CORREIA began monetizing his official position to fund his lavish lifestyle and mounting legal bills. As set forth below, CORREIA used his office to: (i) extort at least four marijuana vendors for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribe payments; (ii) extort a building owner for cash and a Rolex watch in exchange for, among other things, the approval of, and payment for, permits and excavating work to activate the water supply to a commercial building; and (iii) corruptly demand that his chief of staff give him half of her salary and almost all of a $10,000 “snow stipend,” in return for appointing her and allowing her to keep her city job.

Overachiever young thing, ain’t he? Sumbitch sounds like a Colombian Mafiosi. And, of course member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The old slogan is true: Criminals love Gun Control
Yes, he’s been in the news a lot in Boston area news outlets.
One interesting tidbit: he was recalled last year, but in the election to replace him he was re-elected.
The Living Dead Voters?
say…whaaa?!?? RECALLED?
and then elected as his own replacement?
AYFKM?
IIRC, recalled by the city council in the morning and re-elected by the democrat lemmings the SAME night in a special election.
Holy shit he went all out in corruption. There is skimming a little off the top and then there is this.
Massa-2-shytts, a fine tradition of democrat public “servants”.
The current Speaker of the State House of Representatives was an unindicted co-conspirator in a corruption case. Still at the public trough now
His THREE immediate predecessors as Speaker
good democrats all, were also indicted. Being fair to them, only two of them served time for THEIR corruption.
The most recent ex-President of the state Senate resigned a couple of years ago when his husband was caught playing sexual games with lobbyists among others involving “do you know who my husband is??” .
This luminary pleaded guilty this past week to multiple such counts of being an asshole.
Their marriage is currently said to be “under stress”.
Personally I thought those two crazy guys would be together forever….
