Former Maryland State Del. Tiffany Alston declared bankruptcy seven months before she tried to use her campaign funds to cover her wedding expenses, according to court records.
Alston’s $182,758 in debts included $26,000 she owed her former law partner, who alleged in a lawsuit that Alston had charged tens of thousands of dollars in personal expenses to the firm, the court records show.
Alston declined to comment on the bankruptcy filing, the existence of which has not been reported before.

She was suspended from the legislature after pleading guilty to theft, fraudulent misappropriation, and misconduct in office, all of which she denied when charged.
"My status is I’m a delegate,” she said, even though lawmakers, citing a requirement of the state constitution, stripped her of her title, paycheck and benefits after her conviction."
Obama has already called for her to go to Washington and work on his Black Panther Staff at a higher salary that our taxes pay for.
In the decent, moral America I used to know, she would be run out of town too embarrassed to continue in politics...
That all changed with Marion Barry I guess. Just goes to show the immorality and low standards of some people.
..."low standards of most people."
She is already on her way back. The expongment from the judge was a gift, and will give her clear passage back to practicing law and political office.Special rules always for the political class!
