Caught in the Media S-Storm

So, we were wandering out to get some dinner tonight and we came across a total media zoo at about Broad and Chestnut. Wondered what it was all about.

October 16, 2003 — Federal agents raided two city departments and the private offices of a lawyer with ties to Mayor John Street on Thursday, nine days after an FBI bug was discovered in the mayor's office City Hall.

A large group of FBI agents spent several hours at the downtown offices of Ronald A. White, an attorney who has raised money for Street, performs legal work for the city and specializes in helping clients win government contracts.

Investigators could be seen labeling items in the office as evidence and gathering documents.

Agents also seized records from the city's finance department and the Board of Pensions and Retirement, according to City Solicitor Nelson Diaz.
