Maryland is not Sweden, and the plea by Dale G. Clark for not reporting computer consulting fees is no surprise.

Clark is a close friend and frequent staffer of Dixon.

He will also “cooperate in the state prosecutor’s probe into no-bid contracts at City Hall”, which implies that her honor is at least being looked at.

Seeing as how she has been reprimanded by the ethics commission at least twice for improperly employing relatives, we may be approaching a “pass the popcorn” moment in Baltimore City Hall.

I’m rather dubious about any involvement by Martin O’Malley, as they already tried to dig up stuff in his race for the Governor, and the best they could come up with was making up rumors about marital problems, and that was with a political hack in the US Attorney’s office up here.
