Here is a similarity facts about a former Detroit mayor was sent to federal prison for 28 years Thursday, after showing little remorse for the widespread corruption under his watch but acknowledging he let down the troubled city during a critical period before it landed in bankruptcy. Prosecutors said Kwame Kilpatrick’s “corrupt administration exacerbated the crisis” that Detroit now finds itself in. A judge agreed with the government’s recommendation that 28 years in prison was appropriate for rigging contracts, taking bribes and putting his own price on public business. It is one of the toughest penalties doled out for public corruption in recent U.S. history and seals a dramatic fall for Kilpatrick, who was elected mayor in 2001 at age 31 and is the son of a former senior member of Congress.

May Tiffany follow him to prison.

You do know he was sent to prison years ago. President Trump pardoned him before he left office.

And here’s another one, Betty Loren-Maltese from Cicero, Illinois. Betty Loren-Maltese is a convicted felon and the former town president of Cicero, Illinois. She is a member of the Republican Party and received national attention for her role in an insurance scam which robbed the town of $12 million.
