December 3rd, 2008

Birmingham mayor is arrested for alleged misdeeds. Federal agents arrested Birmingham Mayor Larry P. Langford, on Monday, charging him with taking bribes in exchange for doling out county financial business to a favored firm when he led the Jefferson County Commission from 2002 to 2006, reports The New York Times. Langford, 60, was charged in the 101-count indictment with taking over $230,000 in cash, clothing and jewelry for making sure that a well known Alabama investment banker and bond company owner, William B. Blount, got a portion of lucrative bond deals related to the financing of improvements to Jefferson County’s failing sewer system. Read the rest here.

ANOTHER BLACK MAYOR FRAMED UP BY THEM WHITE DEVILS THEY FUKKIN WIT HIM JUSS LIKE THEY FUKKED WIT MARIAN BARRY AND KWAME KILPATRICK I HOPE OBAMA STEP IN AN STOP THIS BULL-ISH
you can’t set anybody up that is doing what is right just a thoought
Im not familiar with the case but what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, everybody got their hand in the cookie jar i think all corruption should come to a end.
All I have to say is why don’t blacks understand that we are held to a higer standard than whites ? We can not do what they have been doing from the begin of civilization ! Please stop my black people !!! You will be put in the spot light and we can’t take up for you because it’s wrong. We are the better people so act like it and don’t try it.
once again our ppl caught with his pants down. The only way not to get ..cked is to keep ya pants up. Let’s not blame others for his misdeeds. Nobody twisted his arm and made him do what he did. Greed is what got him in that situation. Thank on it halla !!
This is a mess Black Politician should see that this is not easy getting away with this kind of B.S. Yes, whites did it for years in Boston John (White) was voted into office while in Jail, Now Diane Wilkenson wil be going to jail for taking a bribe seen stuffing her bra with money and another black on the city council taking a bribe. And the Hip Hop Mayor in Jail and it looks like his Mistress will be going as well. People suffered and die so you can get these jobs and look what happen you should be able to make things better by just looking at them and what they did.
That is what his black ass gets!!!!!
Hey, if that’s the case why isn’t “W” and his crew going to jail? The biggest bunch of thugs in the country are all going away with their pockets full of our money and blood on their hands. Why haven’t they been arrested. FOUL

kwame Kilpatrick wasnt set up. he put his self in that situation. he cheated on his wife and when it came to him in court telling them about his affiar with Christine Beatty they both lied. why do you think they both took the plea bargin because they knew that they had to much evidence pointing towards them instead of getting a like 6 monthes they would have gotten a couple of years probaly over a couple. and the fact that they keep finding out more information about the party at the Manoogian Mansion and about Tamara Greenes death. and more information about another girl who died before (or after) her . she had something to do with him. why do you think he fired thoses cops or who ever they were in that field. Because they knew a lot of thing of what was going on.he made a big mistake by doing that because now eveythings out about him. and at that he was spending city money on things for him and for some hotel rooms!! and they werent cheap either
Stop blaming white for want black people’s do .
This is black behavior ,stop blaming everyone else , you can’t teach sin .
No one seems to have analyzed it until now, but there is an epidemic of mayoral crime in America. Seriously, it is horrifying just how many mayors are felony criminals — and elected mayors are closer and better known to their constituents than state and national representatives.You’d think we’d be better at picking good caliber (honest) folks as our mayors.
When you look at mayors as a group you get a different picture than when the big stories invade the news briefly and the media focus is on just one mayor, as the media is doing now with Birmingham’s Langford and it did in September with Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. The Ethic Soup blog searched the news clips of arrested mayors in the last 11 months of 2008 and posted an excellent article yesterday (Tuesday) on what Ethic Soup calls the “jailed mayors’ club” at:

Have recently been insulted when the TV weather cuties have not read the Bham weather. Alabamas largest city does not exist, but now everybody in the nation knows who we are, The Amos N Andy city ,thanks to our leadership.Before WW-II there was a move to chamge the state capitol from Montgomery to Birmingham. Land was purchased adjacent to the county court house for the purpose. It was called Capitol Park for years.now it has a new name. That move would solve our problem of empty buildings downtown. Bring us intelligent voting public. Would not cost so much, would give our city council something to get thedir teeth into., Olympics,!”Oh Jesus”TAylorMAC
