Price, of course, deserves his day in court and maybe he's not guilty, unlike his former corrupt colleagues Mitch Englander, Jose Huizar and Mark Ridley-Thomas. Maybe.

As a total aside, this announcement couldn't come at a worse time for longtime Curren Price staffer Marisa Alcaraz, who is currently running for city council in the San Fernando Valley. The election is two weeks away and she's already been hammered in mailers for her ties to City Hall corruption by way of working for Price. That her boss is now officially being charged for corruption, not just being investigated for it, will only strengthen the case for her challenger, Imelda Padilla.
