Freelance writer Eric Sturm has created a parody Dick Greco for Mayor web site. On the page is bogus endorsements from disgraced Greco cronies Steve LaBrake and former City of Tampa police chief Benie Holder. LaBrake and his wife were convicted on 25 counts of conspiracy, wire fraud and accepting brides. LaBrake used his position as head of the Tampa-Hillsborough Action Plan to build himself a new home and enrich himself. His wife, Lynne McCarter was his assistant and aided Labrake in the conspiracy. Before the convictions, Greco couldn't understand why the mean media was asking so many questions. Some classic Greco quotes below.
I wouldn't prejudge anybody, but we're not going to tolerate any wrongdoing. There are questions that have to be answered. - Dick Greco, then mayor of Tampa, 2001
"These are two human beings," Greco said. "But for the grace of God, it could be one of you. How would you like it if it had been you?"
"Many people would rather criticize or throw darts or whatever the hell they do without understanding all the facts," Greco said in a December speech.
Sadly, the real Greco is worse than the parody.
