I'm not up on bond schemes. Can anyone explain what White is doing to personally benefit from being involved in the issuance of these bonds?

The only thing I can think of is kick-backs.

Commission on the placement of the $125 million is what he gets; or his firm does. Interesting that a Philadelphia lawyer had anything to do with the deal, since J.P.Morgan has bond experts galore in NYC. Look for a connection between someone in Mobile and Street and his crew. A VIG is in there somewhere, and the commision on the bond sale is not small change. Interesting that they saved interest by having the county, not the school system sell the bonds. Probably had the better rating than the school district. Someone engineered that. Probably sold the deal.

This IS getting interesting. Now J.P. Morgan is involved.
Do you suppose there was a national effort to run these bonds through certain people who provided money to certain officeholders? I wonder how far this will go.
To: Owl_Eagle
Owl, I know how heart-broken you must be as we witness another example of the Feds trying to keep a good man down! Will the Feds stop at nothing in their quest to destroy this man? I mean, so he gave his brother a no-bid contract to build an airport...so what? Next, they're going to be saying that he's overrated as a mayor because he's black...

"Do you suppose there was a national effort to run these bonds through certain people who provided money to certain officeholders? I wonder how far this will go." No doubt politicians are involved. I hope they get all the way to the bottom of it. It wouldn't bother me in the least if they rounded up some of our county commissioners with this.

What's breaking my heart is that John Street has surged ahead in the polls DUE to this investigation. This is one of the ugliest, clearly racist campaigns I've ever seen run. Street is clearly trying to appeal to the basest instincts of the voters... and it's working.
The specter of what living in Philadelphia will be like under a lame duck Street administration is chilling. I was speaking with my Ward Leader last night and she and I are both afraid that the crime, corruption, cronyism, graft and mismanagement that is Street's stock and trade will lower the value of our homes so drastically that we may be trapped in what only a short time ago were great neighborhoods.
Now we are the taxbeasts of burden for the openly racist Street administration.
Sigh...
