BREAKING: Brother Milton Indicted (Finally!)

street11-28-06.jpgMayor Street's brother Milton and two officials with Philadelphia Airport Services were indicted this afternoon by a federal grand jury for corruption and tax fraud in relation to a contract at the Philadelphia International Airport. In January 2000, Milton Street "began hiring himself out as a highly paid consultant to area businesses who believed that Milton Street could help them obtain business with the city of Philadelphia." He also failed to report to the IRS about $2 million worth of income which he collected from 2000 to 2004.

We wonder if the feds waited until the elections were at a safe distance before acting on this, in the hopes of avoiding any claims of political conspiracy this time around...
