Ooops. Like like another on for my list. :roflmao:
An embattled Massachusetts state senator appeared in a federal courtroom today charged with taking $23,500 in bribes, including cash that she stuffed into her bra during a meeting at a tony Boston restaurant that was secretly videotaped by an undercover FBI agent, federal prosecutors said.This still image made from video, which was included in an affidavit filed by the FBI in federal court and released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, allegedly shows Massachusetts state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, D-Boston, taking bribe money on June 15, 2007, outside the Scollay Square restaurant in Boston. Wilkerson was arrested Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008, by the FBI on public corruption charges.
(U.S. Attorney’s Office/AP Photo)Democratic state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson faces 40 years in prison after federal prosecutors outlined accusations that she accepted the bribes over an 18-month period in a money-for-legislative influence sting operation, prosecutors said. She had $6,000 in cash in her purse when she was arrested at her Roxbury home by nearly two dozen law enforcement officials, prosecutors said.
Photographs released by U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan showed Wilkerson stuffing 10 $100 bills into her bra at No. 9 Park restaurant last June. During another meeting with an undercover FBI agent two months later, Wilkerson took her granddaughter to accept a $1,000 kickback at the Fill-A-Buster restaurant, a famed political hotspot directly across the street from the Massachusetts State House, according to a 32-page affidavit filed in the case.

LOL That’s exactly what I thought! You know, it’s to the point where the crooks don’t even care of think they will get caught let alone punished. I read up on this women and I’m shocked that she has been in office for 15 years! Those folks that kept her in office so long can’t complain for not paying attention.
hehe
