Coke-Using Mayor Escapes Charges, Refuses to Quit

Posted By admin

[Bridgeport, Conn.] Mayor John M. Fabrizi admitted Tuesday he had abused cocaine while in office and said he wanted to apologize 'to all the people of the city' but had no plans to resign. . . . U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor said last week that Fabrizi was not a target of the drug investigation, which led to the FBI report being filed in court. He said FBI reports, which summarize statements made by witnesses but are not always corroborated, are typically filed under seal and apologized to Fabrizi for the release. (ABC News [1], Wednesday)

All are equal under the drug laws, but political office-holders and radio personalities are more equal than others.
