Lynn Haven Mayor Margo Anderson and City Attorney Adam Albritton have been indicted by the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
Anderson, who has proclaimed her innocence of any wrongdoing even as a scandal involving the theft of $5 million in Hurricane Michael debris removal funds engulfed the city, faces 63 criminal counts. Those include a count of conspiring to defraud, numerous counts of wire fraud and a charge of embezzlement of federal funds.
Anderson is also charged with depriving the city of Lynn Haven and its residents of their right to honest services, and lying to federal agents.
Albritton faces charges identical to those for which Anderson was indicted except that rather than being charged with lying, he stands charged with scheming to defraud an insurance company by claiming he'd paid for work he'd done that was billed to the city of Lynn Haven.
The unsealed indictment charges only Anderson and Albritton with crimes, but implicates the owners of a Company A and Company B, along with an unnamed city commissioner, as participants in unlawful acts.
"The greatest cost of public corruption is the potential widespread loss of the public's trust in their own government," U.S. Attorney Lawrence Keefe, of the Northern District of Florida said during a Wednesday afternoon press conference on the charges. "Corruption is a dangerous virus that threatens to infect public service and the public's trust in it. We are committed to stopping the spread of the virus of corruption in this community."

It doesn't say and Icannot find out, which party is she, Democrat or Republican. Since it doesn't say I am assuming she is a Democrat.
You can bet money on them being dims because if they were GOP the media would have it on the news every 10 minutes.
No need to assume it. The enemy within controls most information recieved by the public (serfs to them).
Just checked. She's supposedly unafilitaed with a party so................Most likely a leftist hiding in plain sight.
