Indictments handed up against City Council members Katrina Brown, Reggie Brown

The whole indictment that I posted on the previous page is long, but definitely worth reading.

Someone isn't telling the truth.

So $3.3M in grants/loans and $365k from their personally money, but they have nothing to show for it?  They didn't hire anyone, so how does a group of 3-4 burn through over $700k a year on a business venture for 5 years?  These are tech startup sized cash burns.

Sorry, I forgot to turn my sarcasm down a notch after I left work.

I read the indictment.

This is hilarious. Weren't they both on the Finance Committee?

I think I'm just getting REALLY bad at detecting sarcasm, friend

^Hilarious quote from her defense attorney:

"She's not out buying yachts, fancy cars, fancy trips, jewelry."

Meanwhile, her Porsche was just repo'd a few months back.

I love that this all still centers around a bbq sauce company.  George Bluth would say "there's always money in the BBQ sauce plant "

Can we speculate NOW where all that money went?   

[TimmyB]

Well, sooner or later, it was bound to ketchup with them.

All this time, I've been saying this forum needs a "like" button; add a "barf" button to that request!   

All these BBQ jokes are the pits.

I'm not as pissed with them setting up the shell corp and funneling the SBA and City Loan money to themselves because it was a loan that they were expected to pay back.  Regardless of what they did with that money, there was always a potential for default. 

The part that legit pisses me off, and this goes back to some of the other recent threads, is how they were able to draft and pass and enrich themselves with a city funded grant to the tune of almost a quarter million.  Peanuts in a $1B budget.  So why the fuck is it so difficult to get legitimate groups funding in the $10s of thousands that would truly make a difference.  [/end rant]
