Two stories caught my attention in today's Gazette:
1. A guy finds a cell phone and tries to get the owner to cough up $30 to get it back. He is currently sitting in jail awaiting charges of extortion. Bernie Madoff admitted he ripped off $50 billion but remained free for months. Yeah, that makes sense.
2. Robert Miell, our city's largest despicable landlord, is not being released prior to his sentencing hearing. The absolutely remarkable part of the story: The guy has claimed to have no income since 1997.
How, exactly, do you become the largest non-corporate land owner in Cedar Rapids when you've had no income for the past 12 years?
