Here’s a one-paragraph description you can use to hook listeners into your podcast:
A multi-million dollar corruption scandal has rocked the Prichard Waterworks and Sewer Board, where federal investigators uncovered a sophisticated kickback scheme that siphoned at least $2.4 million from an already struggling utility in one of Alabama’s most underserved communities. In our latest episode, we dig into the dramatic federal raids, the luxury items displayed in suspects’ front yards, and the systemic failures that allowed this fraud to flourish for years. This isn’t just about missing money—it’s a story about historic neglect, broken infrastructure, and a community left to deal with the consequences.
