Wilkerson in Cuffs: Next Sticker Campaign Might be Waged Behind Bars

State Senator Dianne Wilkerson, who has suffered a volley of ethics charges over the past year, was arrested this morning by FBI agents, numerous sources are now reporting. According to the Globe, Wilkerson faces charges that she accepted more than $23,000 in bribes from undercover agents during a series of meetings. In one ignoble instance, she was recorded stuffing $1,000 cash into her bra at fancy bistro No. 9 Park, authorities say. Wilkerson, an attorney, also faces disbarment for an unrelated perjury accusation. A State Senator of 15 years, Wilkerson lost August's Democratic primary for her seat to Sonia Chang-Diaz. Wilkerson was running a sticker campaign to defeat Chang-Diaz in the general election.
