We should have seen the Johnny Doc shoe coming straight at our head. The 2015 mayoral election was an uninspiring affair in which the city's effort at campaign finance reform and limiting the size of contributions was swamped by a tsunami of so-called "outside expenditures." What that meant is that the two main candidates were a) a guy whose campaign was largely paid for by three trading-and-investment billionaires who wanted to impose their vision of charter schools on the public and b) a candidate who countered those millions by leaning heavily for cashon his patron, Johnny Doc, even though Dougherty and his union's brass-knuckle approach to politics had long been the subject of scrutiny. It's hard to say a lot about this new FBI probe -- we don't many of the details yet -- but it seems likely to taint Kenney just when he was getting traction from the DNC and the political coup of the soda tax.
