IT'S MILLER TIME!

As in, Donna Reed Miller is still a horrible City Council Person.

It's the holidays, and if you've thought, "WOW! That Larry has been really kinda mellow lately!"... your right, I have been. In terms of politics, it's getting insanely quiet and anything making the news is just... well, it's not aggravating for once. Nutter did something good and scored a good $3 million for the City's Schools. He still hasn't even begun to explain his idiotic Crime Emergency Plan, though.

But let's go back to Miller. Instead of posting a long diatribe about how she shouldn't have been re-elected or just what is wrong, I'll just post the damn article:

A Philadelphia woman was charged Monday with extorting more than $5,000 in cash and a cell phone while working for the city of Philadelphia and City Councilwoman Donna Reed Miller.

Theresa Pinkett, 53, of Philadelphia is alleged to have extorted the cash and cell phone in exchange for providing assistance on real estate issues for properties located in the city, which was part of her duties, according to the charges.

Pinkett is alleged to have accepted about $5,000 in cash and a cell phone from 2001 to 2003 -- while serving as a constituent services representative for Reed -- and $1,200 in cash from September to December of last year while serving as a community specialist in the Community Affairs Division for the City Controller's Office. No wrongdoing is alleged by others in Reed's office or the Controller's Office.
