Mayor of Allentown, Pennsylvania to go on trial on corruption charges

[packman]

1. I love Pennsylvania-grew up there

But, the corruption in all those small towns is staggering. Everyone who lived in the valleys and river towns in Pa. knows that bribery, back-stabbing, selling out and just down-right thievery is rampant in all those townships, towns, boroughs, and basically anywhere there is an elected official. When I left, the town across the river had just bought several acres of land from a city alderman to build a school on - and that ground was condemned as being polluted by a long-gone mill.
