Pol uses money donated to poor for personal goodies, gets to keep pension

Suppose a Republican politician stole money that people had donated to a fund for the poor.  Think that would make headlines all over the country?

So what happens when a Democrat pol does the same thing?

They're offered a plea-bargain for probation--no conviction, no record.

And get to keep their $83,000-a-year pension.

Example: Former Baltimore mayor Sheila Dixon.

That's a sweet deal, eh?  Think any of us peasants would get that kind of offer?
