Former Puerto Rican Politician Admits his Scandals

I love it (read, hate it) when someone says we need more Latinos in office.  Why, I say (if I want a token I'll go ride the subway)? ...when it's people that make it or break it, not race.

Former member of the Puerto Rican Senate Jorge De Castro Font (former because he was arrested in October by the FBI) pleaded guilty yesterday to 21 charges of fraud and conspiracy. De Castro Font admitted that from Jan. 2, 2005, through August 2008, he “directly and indirectly solicited [...] approximately $525,000 in cash payments and other benefits, such as campaign contributions in excess of the legal limits, lodging, private flights, meals and other things of value, from individuals.”
