ATLANTA — A federal grand jury has indicted Georgia state Rep. Tyrone Brooks Sr. on 30 counts, including mail, wire and tax fraud charges.

Brooks, 67, is accused of soliciting contributions from individual and corporate donors to combat illiteracy, but then using the money to pay personal expenses for himself and his family.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne informed Brooks of the indictment.

"I will do a news conference on the Moore's Ford Bridge, but not today. Can't do it today. I haven't even talked to my lawyer yet so I don't have any comment right now."

Georgia state Rep. Tyrone Brooks Sr. is a Democrat. He is not my representative. Unfortunately, I am stuck with Tom Price.

1. Brooks is State Rep. Price is Congress. Who is your state rep? Equally bad?

3. Yes, just as bad. Michael Caldwell (R) n/t

2. I hate to see this, but if he's a crook he needs to go.

Nothing surprises me anymore.
