The Mayor's Illegal Take-Out

The secrets behind the rise of Larry O’Brien only get murkier as time goes on. Recent documents released under request of Larry O’s lawyer show that he may used more than his “entrepreneurial” know-how to glad hand his way to victory. Our revanchist mayor seems to have kick started his unexpected rise with a strategic take-out. O’Brien (or his henchmen) are accused of offering fellow right-wing candidate Terry Kilrea $30,000 and a position of the National Parole Board to bow out of the race. As one OPP officer noted in a document used to obtain a search warrant against Larry O’ has stated: "I believe the offence of Influencing or Negotiating Appointments or Dealing in Offices contrary to section 125 A and B of the Criminal Code has occurred in regards to the above allegations and that Terry Kilrea has been the victim of these offences." These are serious allegations. The more we know about this Larry O, the more we have to wonder if this arms-dealing, back-alley dealing, job-busting, policy-bumbling, political neophyte has neither the skills nor the scruples to be mayor of this fair city.
