FBI Steps Up Probe

[CShine]

A wide-ranging federal investigation of alleged corruption in City Hall broke into the open yesterday, as FBI agents seized records from people with political ties to Mayor Street.

In several searches across the city, federal agents rushed to preserve possible evidence the day after Philadelphia police found a listening device that the FBI had planted in the ceiling of Street's City Hall office.

Yesterday morning, agents raided a small financial firm run by two Street supporters, including one of Philadelphia's most prominent Muslim leaders. Under Street's administration, the firm got a no-bid city contract to collect delinquent taxes.

Last night, Street told reporters he had done nothing wrong. "My integrity is very important to me," he said. "I've been in this business 25 years."

1. No bid contract

no bid contract, where have I heard that before? If the FBI is gonna investigate that one, seems like they should look at another, slightly larger one that has done its best not to be noticed much...
