I really hate to discuss politics here but since the Mayor is very pro bike...
While Maxine has a point I think it is prudent to zoom out and look at the big picture through an analogy. How loudly would this group shout corruption if a attractive single female AAA lobbyist bought me a beer and we spent a weekend together at a resort and you found out about it through John Forester (apparently my arch nemesis on BF)?
Similarly there are the facts and there are the soap opera aspect of politics going on with our Mayor.
Harry, IIRC the total amount is 4 figures.
