Former Harrisburg, PA Mayor Stephen Reed (D) was charged with dozens of counts “for allegedly using city money to fund obsessive buying sprees of artifacts that helped plunge the state capital into debt,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Reed was also charged “with running a corrupt organization, bribery and multiple counts of theft… Reed served as Harrisburg’s mayor for 28 years, leaving in early 2010.”
