The Mayor forgot to mention he broke federal laws. Just an oversight.

Another ugly question raises itself----stuffing cocaine up his nose can get pretty expensive. Where did Fabrizi get the money to subsidize his habit?

Golly, I hope it wasn't anything real naughty (/sarc)---like dipping into the Bridgeport Treasury----or taking envelopes under the table----or handing out rigged, overpriced city contracts to his cronies (with kickbacks written into faked bloated budgets).

Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you have too much money.

First off, he admitted it. This means that either:

the press had already found out and was about to break the story,
the authorities found out and were investigating,
his political foes found out and were going to leak it,
the wife found out and laid down an ultimatum,
or he was advised to admit it, knowing that the voters will forgive him if he admits it himself, rather than have to answer allegations.

Anyone wonder why his party affiliation isn't included in the first paragraph? If there was an (R) following his name, it sure would have been there!
