Post Birmingham Mayor guilty on all accounts
Jury was quick on this one.

Larry Langford found guilty on all 60 counts -- updated | Breaking News from The Birmingham News - al.com




Quote:
Larry Langford, Birmingham's mayor and a former Jefferson County commissioner, has been found guilty in his federal bribery trial.

Langford, who is 61 or 63, was found guilty of taking about $236,000 in cash and gifts from Montgomery investment banker Bill Blount and lobbyist Al LaPierre.

Both pleaded guilty in the case and testified they made cash payments to Langford while he was the president of the Jefferson County Commission to ensure business for Blount's investment bank, Blount Parrish & Co.

Birmingham City Council President Carole Smitherman will be the mayor of Alabama's largest city after her swearing in.

Gov. Bob Riley was quick to react, in a prepared statement. "These kind of convictions don't have to happen," he said. "We must finally pass anti-corruption laws that will bring accountability and transparency to state and local governments so we can prevent this very kind of situation."

I can't even bring myself to joke about there being a realistic shot of Birmingham having a shot at the Olympics.

So what's the story behind all these? I must admit that I don't tend to keep up on Birmingham politics - but this seems like a pretty huge story.

I was wondering the exact same thing. That should be relatively easy information to get. For credibility's sake, you should probably get a final ruling on that before printing it...
