Long-time readers of this blog (all two of you) know that I have taken a special interest in Jefferson County, Alabama. It is the topic of one of my own favorite posts.
One of the men responsible — a corrupt official named Larry Langford, now mayor of Birmingham — has been arrested by the FBI, presumably for taking bribes from his buddy William Blount, who has also been indicted.
As far as I know, Jefferson County remains on the verge of bankruptcy.
It will be nice to see a little justice here, even if the real criminals at the investment banks never lose their bonuses, much less their freedom.
