BALTIMORE (WBFF)--One the most notable Baltimore City leaders to get caught up in corruption is former Mayor Sheila Dixon.
In 1987, Dixon won a seat on the Baltimore City Council representing the 4th Council District, where she served twelve years. In 1999, Dixon was elected president of the city council, the first African-American woman elected to this position.
In 2003, she won her re-election race for president of the Baltimore City Council, defeating her nearest competitor and she became Mayor of Baltimore in January 2007 when then-Mayor Martin O'Malley resigned after being elected Governor of Maryland

To say that they got "caught up" in corruption is somewhat disingenuous, as if they had little choice. All made conscious decisions to do what they did. In Pugh's case it was over and over again, the laws and the people and charities from whom they stole be damned. I have no sympathy for any of them.
