Holy Bleep Part Deux!!: Bill Freeborn Indicted On Felony Charges

Now, that’s what I call bipartisanship.  Indict both a D and an R for violating the public trust.  From WDEL:

Separately, the former executive director of the Wilmington Neighborhood Conservancy Land Bank Executive Director was also indicted Tuesday.

Bill Freeborn, a former Republican City Councilman in the nineties and prior Director of the Division of Corporations, was charged with theft by false promise and misapplication of property–both felonies–for allegedly accepting at least $28,000 in unauthorized deposits for properties that did not belong to the land bank between February 1, 2019 and May 17, 2020. He also faces a charge of official misconduct.

Freeborn could face up to five years in prison.

Freeborn was a fixture in Leg Hall during the Castle years, and one of Castle’s top assistants.  I just saw him and talked to him last week.  Needless to say, this didn’t come up.

It’s about time an AG challenged the casual corruption of the Delaware Way.  Too bad she wasn’t AG when Tony DeLuca and his Significant Other were ripping off the state.
