When Jane Goolsby announced her
intentions to run for mayor, Medina was one of the first contributors to her
campaign, writing a check for $25,000. He had done business with First Cotton
States Bank for many years, and had met Jane a long time ago and watched her
career progress as she advanced all the way to the top. They frequently spoke
whenever he was in the bank lobby, if only to exchange hellos, but theirs was
only a business relationship.
A woman with her clout at the bank who
also held power at city hall was Medina’s ideal kind of gal. He figured if he
played his cards right, she might become his own personal twofer: She could
give him the inside track on potentially lucrative business deals that had to
clear city hall bureaucracy, and she could be the source of any special
financing he might need to take advantage of such opportunities.
Plus she wasn’t at all hard to look at.
