funny story:

The Mayor you're referring to was Richard Daniels....

after he resigned and escaped prosecution, he BOUGHT THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO ME! He lived there for a number of years until he sold his house as a CBRF (for a handsome profit I might add) and moved to either Texas or Arizona....he was never clear about which...

How did he escape prosecution? There is a vagary in the law that says the activity is not illegal if you acted upon the advice of an attorney....the "then" City attorney wrote a statement for the newspaper that the Mayor was acting on his advice....sooooo "get out of jail free"....literally
