Gasp!!!!!
There is no way that there could be pay offs to the mayor for the 1000 poker machines in Duquesne!!! I can't believe it!! I won't believe it!!! No way that our honorable local Democratic officials would allow this..... Wait they run the city. There are only 20 Republicans in all of Duquesne. Perhaps it is true.
Sincerely,
Uncle Bud
