zasel says:

Michael Sessions, the 19-year-old mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan has been charged with computer hacking. Is he just a young man doing the dumb things young people do, or is he a junior politician in training for more profitable crimes in the future. Who knows? The Shadow, perhaps? (Man, did I just date myself, and anyone else who understands that last reference.)

That's the morality play running in this isolated  college town about 100 miles southwest of Detroit, where a high school kid who  drew national attention in 2005 when he won an improbable write-in campaign  for mayor has, as a 19-year-old college student, recently pleaded no contest  to computer hacking.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-recall_thujul26,1,1111080.story?ctrack=1&cset=true"><DIV>     "We all made mistakes at that age.

Buchhop says Sessions  "has the leadership responsibility" as mayor and should not be cut any slack  because of his age.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-recall_thujul26,1,1111080.story?ctrack=1&cset=true">        A town conflicted</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/09E3CE02-463B-44B3-A8B1-7B7AAF3E25C1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
