Reports the Herald: "Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne -- at one time the county's most powerful politician -- has agreed to plead guilty and resign to federal corruption charges involving tens of thousands of dollars he allegedly received from sheriff's office contractors and employees, sources said Tuesday.

"After months of personal anguish, Jenne decided Monday to cut the plea deal on tax evasion and other charges to limit his prison time because he also was staring at an imminent grand jury indictment on more serious fraud and money-laundering offenses, sources said."
