    After asking the other day for news on Bill Keller, I didn't really expect this. Now lets see the connection between Keller and Local 98.

    Maybe the FBI and IRS are really looking for Carl Greene?? Not a good day for the political class in the Doc orbit.

    Well according to the other story, the Feds raided the sporting goods store related to election shirts purchased by the IBEW. You don't have campaign limits in state elections so its just either very dumb or very lazy not to report those as campaign contributions. They also raided the offices of the O'Rourke PR guy connected to the Parking Authority and to Controller Butkovitz - the reason Butkovitz has allegedly not gone after the PPA. That seems as interesting as Keller just being exceptionally dumb in his campaign reporting.

    Isn't it ironic that Johnny Doc calls for ethics reforms today simultaneously as his right hand man State Rep. Bill Keller's office gets raided by the FBI. WHAT A JOKE! Those two guys surely do deserve each other.
