The Day Before Spring Is Sprung, Brian and Cheryl Potashnik Will Receive Sentences

Sorry, but one last bit of bookkeeping before I hit the nog: We've known for a while when Don Hill and the missus, former City Plan Commissioner D'Angelo Lee and two others found guilty in the federal City Hall corruption trial are being sentenced; we've had February 26 circled on...

Sorry, but one last bit of bookkeeping before I hit the nog: We've known for a while when Don Hill and the missus, former City Plan Commissioner D'Angelo Lee and two others found guilty in the federal City Hall corruption trial are being sentenced; we've had February 26 circled on our calendars for a while.
