Payola

Larry Lynch is paid $1,000 a month by the private company running the downtown jail. He has to sign off on the contract under which they operated the jail. Is there anyone that does not think it is inappropriate for an elected official who exercises control over a contract to receive money from a private party with an intrest in the contract? Larry has said his predicessor did the same thing.

There is a difference. Larry now houses county prisioners at the facility run by the private organization. This is as almost as complex as it is corrupt. Larry receives money from the private company while funneling tax dollars to the private company. CiviGenics pays Larry and Larry houses prisioners with them, at tax payer expense, to contribute to the bottom line of CiviGenics.

The above is why I don't stutter when I say that Larry is a crook. You decide.
