Carla Blockson received another "interesting" campaign contribution. Most of you who have been around for awhile remember Alcee Hastings and his bribery charge involving the Romano brothers. It was a corruption scandal of all time in south Florida.
Read about it here and refresh your memory.
This trial was over 20 years ago but Hastings is still alive and well. While serving as a U.S. federal judge in 1988, he was impeached by the Congress of the United States, and then convicted of perjury and conspiracy to accept a bribe and was removed from office in 1989. He has been re-elected twice since then.
Perhaps when Amendments 5 & 6 pass, it will stop this gerrymandering and Hastings will be history.
