Philly Dem Charged With Bribery
A Philadelphia lawmaker is facing charges over an alleged $7,000 “shakedown” of a local towing company, the Associated Press reports.
Yeadon borough council president John Holden is facing felony charges of bribery and theft as an official.
The Delaware County district attorney’s office said it all started when Holden’s abandoned car was towed by Seiple Collision. Investigators say Holden suggested to the company that their contract with the borough would be in jeopardy unless he was paid a bribe. …
Prosecutors say Holden met with one of the owners and received $1,000 as a down payment for a $7,000 bribe so Seiple would keep its borough contract.

Yeadon is in an adjoining county (Delware County).
Not to be confused with any and all other shakedowns in Philly, which go for more than $7,000 per victim.

If things don’t pan out in Philly, I hear Detroits hiring.
Provided CHicago doesn’t offer him a better deal.
This guy should get an agent, he’ll be a big money first round draft pick for any major democratically controlled city.
