John Best Jr. is a Durham City Council member who apparently has been under scrutiny for being behind on some bills. Recently, a judge held the councilman in contempt of court, which the Durham Herald Sun duly reported. (A Google-cahsed version of the story is here.)
To help him fight the charges, Best and his current wife have fired up a new website, part of which gives residents helpful hints on how to contribute to his legal defense fund.
