Elect a Democrat named LaToya and reap the reward:

Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans, Louisiana, became the first sitting mayor in the city’s history to be indicted by a federal grand jury Friday.

This is not her first historic first:

Cantrell — the first woman to serve as mayor in the city’s 307-year history — has been charged on counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, false statements, fraud, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false declaration before a grand jury, documents obtained by Fox 8 show.

Historic firsts abound these days. Too bad they aren’t historic lasts.

On tips from Jack D, Chuck A, and KirklesWorth.
