BREAKING NEWS – Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania – A Democratic mayor has resigned nearly a month after he was arrested for allegedly soliciting a woman for sex — a woman who turned out to be a police informant. Bloomsburg Mayor Eric Bower, 36, initially claimed the accusations were made up because of his “political position.” He was arrested on April 20 after investigators said he showed up at a Hampton Inn with condoms and $200 in cash. According to the attorney general’s office, the woman, whom Bower solicited for sex that day, was “a Pennsylvania State Police confidential informant.” The unnamed informant he wanted to have sex with, stated that it was true that Bower was arrested because of his political “position”, sort of.
