When it rains...

Philadelphia City Councilman Rick Mariano has been under federal investigation for a number of his financial relationships (see previous story here). And every rock that they turn over seems to lead to more beetles running in more directions. Now the school district is starting to itch.

FEDERAL investigators probing City Councilman Rick Mariano's business affairs are asking questions about a company that he introduced to the school district in 2003.

Danlin Management Group Inc. was given a $225,000 contract to consult for the district on worker-compensation cases for six months, but wanted much more. In a lawsuit filed against the district in February, the company asks for $2.5 million, complaining that it wasn't paid for a contract extension and was never given a promised larger contract.

There's also a contribution to Perzel mentioned, coming a day after Danlin received a big contract. Sigh.
