DeNaples Facing Two Probes

On the way to the Stadium on Sunday, I stopped in the local convenience store to pick up coffee and noted the headline in the intrepid Morning Call, screaming that the slots king cum garbage king turned banker and (oh, okay) "alleged" mob figure, Louis DeNaples, was facing Federal and State probes into whether he illegally gave money to Rendell in order to boost his slots chances.

What a shocker! The guy with the worst plan for a slots casino in the Poconos, in the worst location, who has turned it over to his dentist daughter to run, might have won the license because of the money he doled out?

Our two faithful readers will recognize that story. What will happen next? Well, what normally happens to the wealthy and well connected, especially in the pristine politics of Pennsylvania?

Hey, he's just another family man trying to make good -- give the guy a break.
