Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was indicted Friday on charges she broke campaign finance rules and committed fraud during her reelection campaign three years ago.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley also announced charges against Warren’s campaign treasurer, Albert Jones Jr., and the treasurer of her political action committee, Rosalind Brooks-Harris.

The indictment dramatically increases political peril for Warren, who was already facing calls to resign for the city’s handling of the suffocation of Daniel Prude. The Democrat is midway through her second term as the first female and second Black mayor of Rochester, a city of more than 200,000 by Lake Ontario.

State Board of Elections investigators had previously concluded there was “considerable evidence” that Warren, her associates and a political action committee supporting her campaign took steps to intentionally evade campaign donation limits, according to local media reports.

I wonder what the former police chief is thinking as well as the whole police department.

Hmmmm no mention of political party.

Oh, but OF COURSE! Only Republicans that get into trouble like this are labeled in the media.

No surprise, did they find money in the freezer?

Third paragraph. “Democrat”

[sport]

Somebody did not get their cut.

Her Party affiliation is mentioned in the 4th Sentence. No need to read the article. This is the FR after all.

Looks guilty to me:

I’m betting ex-Police Chief La’Ron Singletary is laughing his ass off right now. He resigned (retired), then Warren fired him. They appointed a female, Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan as the new interim police chief. She’s black too.

I think she was nobody/non-politician when she ran and won the first time. it was quickly apparent she didn’t think rules applied to her.
