It's Back... As The Burgh Turns

Today on "As The Burgh Turns" a former neighborhood policy assistant for Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy is sentenced in U.S. District Court to four years' probation on federal money laundering charges.

Chatiqua Good, 33, of the 1600 block of Buena Vista Street on the North Side, pleaded guilty in September 2003 to helping a relative, Michael Keith Good, launder $70,000 in drug money from her desk in the City-County Building.

In taped conversations, she plotted with Michael Keith Good, who she called "Uncle Mike," to purchase a $70,000 apartment building on the North Side and place the deed in the name of another relative, so as not to raise suspicions about where Michael Good got the money.

Michael Keith Good, the leader of a North Side drug ring, pleaded guilty last year to drug trafficking and other charges and was sentenced to 15 years and 10 months in federal prison.
