Mobile County ( Republican) License Commissioner indicted.

Here's the thing...she ran unopposed the election that put her in office, now both she and her deputy are indicted for financial and political fraud.
They could NOT find one Dem. to run against her, that is how locked up this state is.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Mobile County's License Commissioner Kimberly Hastie and Deputy License Commissioner Ramona Yeager have been indicted on federal charges.

Hastie and Yeager are suspected of misusing county funds and deceiving the Mobile County Commission, according to the indictment filed in federal court in Mobile.

The indictment document accuses Hastie and Yeager of falsifying invoices and misappropriating funds in order to "obtain political lobbying and consulting services and personal benefits without the knowledge and oversight of the County Commission and at the expense of Mobile County taxpayer dollars."
