Milton Street Indicted, To Announce Mayoral Bid Soon

The mayor’s brother, Milton, has been indicted for tax evasion and corruption charges related to — what else? — his contract at PHL.

The Inquirer’s John Shiffman and Marcia Gelbart report:

.A federal grand jury alleged that after John F. Street took office in January 2000, Milton Street “began hiring himself out as a highly paid consultant to area businesses who believed that Milton Street could help them obtain business with the city of Philadelphia.”

From 2000 to 2004, Milton Street received about $2 million in consulting and other non-vending income, none of which he reported to the Internal Revenue Service, the grand jury charged. He was hired by a company called Philadelphia Airport Services to be a consultant for $30,000 a month, the grand jury said.

Milton Street was also the president of a company named Notlim, which was certified with the city’s Minority Business Enterprise Council.

Aw, Milton. What would we do without you?

Update: The Inquirer has a Flash photo gallery up of Milton Street through the years. It’s like fucking Christmas here today.
