Correia has been arrested on extortion charges, and we’re talking big money.
USA Today reports:
Massachusetts mayor arrested for extorting marijuana vendors for 6-figure bribes
Jasiel Correia II, the already embattled mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts, was arrested Friday on new federal extortion charges for allegedly operating a scheme to help marijuana vendors get approval to operate in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes.
Prosecutors say Correia agreed to sign non-opposition letters in return for significant six-figure payments from four marijuana vendors looking to open businesses in the city of nearly 90,000 about an hour’s drive south of Boston. The letters are required to obtain a license to operate a marijuana business in Massachusetts, where cannabis is legal.

Northwest Woodsman: Anyone willing to venture a guess on how many Marxist democrat mayors have been arrested, convicted and jailed on criminal charges? How stupid can voters be to continue voting for these clowns. Oh, I guess I know the answer to that question.
