Dixon hires former Gov. Mandel’s defense attorney
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterBaltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon (D) has hired a new lawyer according the Examiner.
Dixon is currently under investigation for public corruption for failing to report gifts on her financial disclosures as required by law.
Arnold M. Weiner, a defense attorney, helped defend former Gov. Marvin Mandel’s (D-Baltimore) trial in 1977. Mandel, who was charged with mail fraud and racketeering, was originally found guilty, but the case was eventually overturned.
“I can only say at this point that she is a great mayor and I am looking forward to representing her,” Weiner told the Examiner. “But I’m relatively new to the case so I don’t want to say too much.”

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
