FBI searching Dallas County Commissioner's offices, Price's home
DALLAS - As the newly-elected Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings was being inaugurated on Monday at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, FBI agents swarmed homes and offices of various county commissioners across North Texas.

Federal agents are at the home and office of Commissioner John Wiley Price. It has also been confirmed that agents are also at multiple locations across the city that involve other people.

The FBI agents were limiting access to the Dallas County Commissioner's Court offices, where FBI agents are searching the first two floors of the Dallas County Administration Building at 411 Elm Street. Only employees have been allowed in and out of the building.

Commissioner Maurine Dickey said her office was not being searched, but Commissioner Mike Cantrell's office was being searched by agents. FBI agents said later that it appears that Price is the only commissioner being investigated.

2. Price is a sell-out.
"...but the fact is that Price is now a handmaiden to the Perot family and its interests at the Alliance Airport inland port in Fort Worth.

As such, Price worked hard behind the scenes to gum up, slow down and generally sabotage the development of an inland port in southern Dallas, even though the Dallas project offers 63,000 new high-paying jobs -- the single biggest promise of economic development in the entire history of southern Dallas."

The kind of "economic development" Price pursues now, with the help of a lot of the southern Dallas mega-preachers, is economic development that goes straight into their own and their friends' pockets.

Don't let me mince words here. Price is a Judas. He is the betrayer of his own." From: http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2011/05/the_word_on_john_wiley_price_j.php

It'll be interesting to see what the FBI comes up with.
