Robert Mann

It was my understanding that Robert Mann was too ill to go to prison for his part in the Bielinski mess a few years ago. I thought if he got better he was to go to jail. Yet, here it is, years later and he seems to be doing just fine. Is this what happens when your family donates a lot of money to Republican causes? Other people went to jail who played lesser roles in the scandal.

He turned Democrat after his brush with death. He saw time and time again where large donors get caught for "pay for play" with Diamond Jim Doyle and get away with it so he started giving Doyle "donations" to keep him out of jail. True story.....

You're right, Phish. I think he needs to harken back to those Republicans with good ole' family values---- upstanding men like Nevada Senator John Ensign,New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, and South Carolina Governor John Sanford. They've kept themselves out of jail, just like Mr. Mann.

Jack you forgot about Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Blago, Barney Frank, Chuck Robb, John Rostenkowski, the Keating 5.......

But back to the issue of why Mr. Mann is still not serving any time for his crime?

I don't know why he isn't doing time yet. You would have to ask the judge about that. I did however eat at his new restaurant this weekend and it was pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. The patio overlooking the pond was very nice. You should go there and eat sometime. Nothing is better that sitting outside and drinking a nice cold glass of Stella.

I saw Robert and his chickie real estate girlfriend at the Corn and Brat days. If that guy's dying, I want wherever he is taking. I bet they serve brats in prison. Maybe he should try those.

Maybe the "chickie" girl friend is keeping him alive! I think it would be cruel and unusual punishment to put him in prison after battling colon cancer. I don't think his colon could handle the abuse some guy named Bubba would give it in prison! Can you squeal like a pig!

I have known Robert for over 25 years and I know in school he was a big drinker and every time he got in trouble it was either the name or his families money got him out of trouble.Plus, think about it, if the Mann's ever had to really pay for there crimes the Mann family might get mad and not do anything for the city anymore.then what?I have lived in Elkhorn all my life and went to school with kids that who have the last names that are big in Elkhorn and most of them were big drinkers and I remember them getting into BIG trouble but never got the punishment they would have if they would of been from some no name family. Elkhorn has always been about the families with money.If you don't have the right name,live somewhere else.

You guys dont know anything so just keep your mouth shut and if you dont know him then dont say anything.
