A top aide to new Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal said he was fired and escorted out of the office by armed deputies after raising concerns about controversial spending practices that have dogged the agency for years.
Brett Mandel, who lasted just five weeks as Bilal’s chief financial officer, said her first order of business was to continue spending with little budgetary planning or oversight. She spent out of a multimillion-dollar fund of money from fees collected by the office for sheriff’s sales, serving writs, and other duties, Mandel said, describing it as a “slush fund.”
Mandel said that he was fired and ushered out on Feb. 10 after raising concerns about that and a practice of handing out expensive contracts for advertising sheriff’s sales.
Bilal, who ran for Philadelphia sheriff last year vowing to end “two decades of scandal after scandal after scandal" in the office, declined to be interviewed for this story. Her office did not deny any of Mandel’s allegations.

Hoping she does a perp walk soon.
An odd name. Muslim?
If it’s in Philadelphia, it’s corrupt.
What’s the matter with these Democrat sink holes that elect crooks to steal money from taxpayers? Are the voters stupid, lazy or both?
She has the right pedigree to affirm that.
I saw a program a few hours ago about a Philadelphia murderer and rapist. The public did not know there was a serial rapist because the PD did not report them so their statistics would look better.
Vote Democrat!
Hey, it’s Philadelphia, so corruption is a dog bites man story which should not get any attention.
Now, a public official in Philly who actually cleaned up corruption and ran an honest office—THAT would be a man bites dog story that would raise eyebrows.
She is the Sheriff? Look like a ghetto whore.
I thought she was the chick who loved obama because he gave her a free phone.
“An odd name. Muslim?”
LOL! You can come out of your cave, now.
never trust a woman or automatic pistol

Look at the sheriff. Then consider the race and identity of her constituents. You answered your own question.
