Hmm...Patricia Allen just happened to use Mark Foley's attorney to settle her case with Rep. Tim Mahoney and Brian Ross just happened to have the scoop a month before Election Day.
If Patricia Allen of Hobe Sound is Patricia Lynn Allen of Hobe Sound in Martin County, somebody ought to take a closer look at the case against Mahoney.
How was Patricia L. Allen's ex-husband, William C. Allen, able to pay off a $100k mortgage in April of 2007 that he only took out in June 2006?
The property is in Jupiter which is in Palm Beach County.
William C. Allen is also the long-time owner of Allen Cabinetry at 1029 25th Court in West Palm Beach. I wonder how business is these days, given the state of South Florida's real estate market.
Have the Allens been doubledipping? Worth a look, imho.
