Brian Potashnik, outside the Earle Cabell Federal Building in July
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. But as you'll see in the doc below, District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn yesterday issued a sentencing order for Brian and Cheryl Potashnik: After all the objections are made and motions are filed, the couple -- who pleaded guilty, with Brian taking the stand to testify against Hill in late July -- will be sentenced Friday, March 19 at 9 a.m. That's the day before the first day of spring.
Cannot. Wait. For. This. What a Christmas present to the city who was fearful these dreadful mittelEuropean trash would somehow escape attention, thinking they gave it up on the Hills. I'll be in my seat every day.
merry Christmas to all (not that these folks celebrate that holiday).
