AlphMichaels Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Familiar with the area, those who are locals tell of the "family" running things there. Now in full swing as the bridge has been completed. More frequent "news" will be coming from the area now. They'll effectively ruin a great area.

retarius Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I guess this case will drag on like Jarndyce and Jarndyce for the next 20 or so years. No prison time for the felon, juts endless appeals while he lives the life of Riley on the rest of his illegal earnings. Will he still be Obortor, or moved to an inactive post?

sendintheclowns Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 15 years earlier Mr. T himself said: I am going to eliminate corruption...show me the receipts and I will take action. It is nice to see that the much pilloried military government appears to be achieving a better record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaZa9 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Keep up the good work ! Little by little ...
