A Cincinnati city councilwoman could face up to 50 years in prison after being arrested Tuesday on federal corruption charges, authorities say, according to reports. Shortly after being taken into custody, Tamaya Dennard appeared in court in handcuffs and leg irons to face charges of honest services fraud, bribery and attempted extortion, FOX 19 of Cincinnati reported. In one instance, a source linked to a downtown development project, who was cooperating with the FBI, handed Dennard a cashier’s check for $10,000. “Oh, that’s perfect,” Dennard, 40, is heard saying on a recording, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Thank you. I’m going right to the bank on this.”

If you know the farcical situation in Cincinnati this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Five hard-core lefties dominate the nine-seat council. They've wantonly violated sunshine laws using, among other things, group texting. When the texts were subpoenaed the lefties took legal action to block the subpoena and at least one claimed to have dropped his/her phone in a swimming pool. Yes really.

An honest mistake. She's a Democrat so she assumed she was immune to prosecution. Guess you have to be higher up the party food chain for that extra perk.

Shucks, if every Democrat who traded votes for cash went to jail, we'd have to build a lot more jails.

Too bad he didn't follow the Doomberg model. His method buys plenty of votes, keeps you out of jail, AND makes you rich all at the same time!

This sort of an investigation should be going down in every state. One Kansas City, Missouri city council member was arrested, convicted and imprisoned perhaps 25 years ago. He took a personal check for his bribe from a developer. I remember hearing this on the radio driving to work and laughing out loud. What sort of a moron takes a check for a bribe? Never see a movie with an envelop filled with used 50s and 100s? These people are corrupt and STUPID, too.

Tamaya should have stuck with asking for reparations for slave descendants.

#11 - Jerry Springer ring a bell ? 'Reality show host' and - if memory serves, former Cincinnati Councilman when he got caught paying a hooker with a credit card !! - again, if memory serves ( I left over 40 years ago ).
Sounds like only the players have changed, the 'practices' continue !!

Oh stuff and nonsense. You know no Democrat, especially a black one has never even been censured nor will ever be. The only way would be to hang a big R around her neck and start over.

Heh #14....I well remember Springer and you are 100% correct...he went on to 'host' a 'tell all' piece of trash TV show, and NOW, of all things, he is 'Judge Jerry'...

Federal corruption charges? What's that? Authorities should look at Congress where the bulk of them are.
