Polticians - Ex.-State Sen. John Ford
Justice!...
This is by the A.P.'s Woody Baird at KnoxNews.com:
"The Rolex watches, fancy suits and plush hotels are all things of the past for former state Sen. John Ford.
Ford, 65, reported Monday to a federal prison camp in Louisiana to begin a 5 1/2-year sentence for taking $55,000 in bribes during the FBI's statewide corruption sting called Tennessee Waltz.
Once one of the state's most powerful lawmakers, Ford was known as a flashy dresser with a taste for fine dining and expensive hotels."
