Report: Former legislator took secret mortgage

A report out today says former legislator Ron Sailor Junior secretly took out a quarter-million dollar mortgage on the church where he was pastor just days before pleading guilty to federal money laundering charges. Leaders at Greater New Light Missionary Baptist Church in southwest Atlanta say they didn't know Sailor had done it and now don't know where the money is.
