Morial Pal Guilty Of Tax Evasion

It seems that the federal probe, into the dealings of lawyer Roy Rodney, has come to an end. The result--a single misdemeanor charge of tax evasion. It also appears that the former Mayor's confidant could not provide any goods on Mark.

Does that mean Marc Morial is innocent of any wrongdoing or is he just a slick con man who may go down in history as the "Teflon Don Juan"? Well, Stan "Pampy" Barre is still cooperating with the feds, but he has only produced information against imprisoned former council president, Oliver Thomas and an unsubstantiated bribery claim against Una Anderson and two trash haulers, Jimmie Woods of Metro Disposal Inc. and Alvin Richard of Richard's Disposal Inc.

For this info, Mr. Barre's sentencing date has been postponed six times. Is he pulling the wool over the feds eyes or will he break from his well known tradition of lying and finally tell the truth? Only time will tell.
