The Maryland Court of Appeals has ruled that former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson cannot practice law in the state, according to WUSA9.
Johnson was arrested in Nov. 2010 for accepting bribes in return for political favors. Johnson was sentenced to 87 months in federal prision in December, after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy, extortion and evidence tampering.

I can only hope that Prince George's gets its act together. The number of public "servants" that have their hand in the cookie jar in astounding.

87 months in prison and disbarment does not even come close to compensating the citizens of Prince George's County. He and his cronies have disgraced this county and damaged our future reputation. His policies undermined both small and corporate business growth thus reducing this counties tax base. The citizens of this county have suffered more from Mr. Johnson's inability to differentiate between right and wrong, morality and immorality than he will. I hope after he does get out, he does not get re-elected like some other morally challenged individuals we have seen and have despised through the years.
