Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon Being Investigated

This is a story that's been gaining steam in the last few weeks, but one that I absolutely missed. Baltimore, MD Mayor, Sheila Dixon is being investigated specifically for approving city contracts while a then council president that benefited her sister's employer. This investigation is so intense that Dixon's home was raided by state prosecutors on June 17th. Dixon, who is in her official first term as mayor has continued to perform her duties as mayor, but this investigation has cast an imposing cloud over her tenure. African American mayors are getting a real bad reputation for corruption. Perhaps residents of theses cities need to take a hard look before giving carte blanche support to our black leaders during election time.
