Langford Begins 15 Year Jail Term

As good a place to start as any, how about some of the affects of the Jefferson County Muni-Bond collapse, more importantly with the jailing of Mayor Langford who is now beginning his 15 year sentence in regards to bribery and corruption:

When Larry Langford reports to prison Wednesday, he will leave a decades-long political career for a federally-issued uni­form, a schedule that dictates his movements, and a code of conduct that prohibits one of his favorite pastimes -- smoking.

The former Birming­ham mayor is one night away from beginning a 15-year sentence at the Federal Correctional In­stitution Ashland in northeast Kentucky.

Langford, 64, was con­victed in October on 60 counts that include brib­ery, fraud, money laun­dering and conspiracy tied to his time on the Jefferson County Commission. Langford, who took an esti­mated $235,000 in bribes, was ordered to pay $119,985 in back taxes and forfeit $241,843. He has appealed his conviction.

Tip of the iceberg my friends.
