Not surprising that he got away with it for so long. Baltimore city and county politics are beyond corrupt and have been in my 25 year memory.

Please do some history research Baltirmore COUNTY was a shake down center, esp when former vice President of the USA (Spiro Agnew) was Balt County exec. When Agnew was chosen to be VP, under Nixon, he set up shop in DC shaking down all contractors who wanted to do business with the fed government. He was about to be arrested, but it happened at the same time as when Nixon resigned, and the FBI feared Agnew would avoid arrest if he became SCOTUS.

The people of Balt County NEVER mention the long list of corrupt politicians they have let into office. Too busy pointing the finger at the City.

I included the county. Didn't need to research-grew up with it and was common knowledge

Why do you say that? Just curious for your reasoning. Imo he seems like the least corrupt of any CE we've had in ages (though that's not a high bar)

With Agnew it was always cash. Mainly just bags of cash, that way no paper trail.
