It's hard to believe this isn't a bigger news story with all the other insanity happening around the world this is barely even making headlines.
We're curious about how she plans to pay her attorney, if you catch our drift.
Laura Maczka, now known as Laura Jordan, was found guilty of a myriad of violations while she was the mayor of Richardson from 2013 to 2015. Also convicted was Mark Jordan, the real-estate developer who bribed her and who she allegedly married as a defense strategy.
In the official accusation, which was made on May 10, 2018, federal prosecutors alleged that Mark Jordan purchased forty acres of land, known as the Palisades Property, to build a multi-purpose urban development that included apartments, known as the Palisades Project.
Laura Jordan had run for mayor on the promise to oppose the development of new apartments in Richardson neighborhoods, a suburb between Dallas and McKinney.
Mark Jordan, however, had other plans.
The indictment against the Jordans presented a timeline of lavish vacations the developer took with Laura Jordan, “intimate sexual contact,” cash payments, and an offer of a six-figure salary job to the then-mayor that coincided with votes on the unpopular real estate development.
The government said that Mark Jordan invoiced contractors for renovating the mayor’s home, claiming that the improvements were made on his businesses.
The indictment asserted that Laura Jordan even caused her unwitting ex-husband to file a false income tax return because she failed to report her paramour’s gifts.
The ex-mayor is named “Laura Jordan” in legal filings, but she is also known by her former name, Laura Maczka, because her marriage is controversial.
While she was mayor, Laura Jordan was cheating on her then-husband, known only as “MM,” who she divorced in January 2015, according to court documents.
