State representative wearing a wire?
March 18, 2008 at 4:02 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsDick Pettys at InsiderAdvantage says a highly-placed source in the legal community told him a state representative may have been wearing a wire during the current legislative session. It’s part of a probe by federal authorities to uncover political misdeeds under the Gold Dome. Pettys’ source tells him the probe may involve both political parties and even stretch into the state Senate.
If the wire-wearer was state Rep. Ron Sailor, D-Lithonia, I don’t think the scoundrels should worry. Dude was never at the Capitol. Maybe now we know why that was the case.
And while we’re on the topic of Sailor, take a look at the U.S. attorney’s press release announcing the Lithonia legislator’s guilty plea:
Ronnie “Ron” Sailor, Jr., 33, of Norcross, Georgia, pleaded guilty today in federal district court to a felony criminal information charging him with laundering and attempting to launder what he believed to be drug proceeds, after taking possession and agreeing to launder a total of approximately $375,000 of cash from the purported sale of cocaine.
Take note: Norcross ain’t in DeKalb or Rockdale County, Sailor’s congressional district. I guess that little misstep is the least of his worries now.

That’s Sailor’s son, ain’t it? Sailor is a lot older than 33.
