Ex- New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin indicted

[David Shepherd]

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has been indicted on 21 federal corruption charges including wire fraud, bribery and money laundering.


The charges are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen.


The counts include wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, filing false tax returns and conspiracy.


Nagin, a former cable television executive, was a political novice before being elected to his first term as mayor in 2002, buoyed by strong support from white voters.

They need to check him for the Katrina donations. Of course the left would not blame him for any of Katrina's problem as they were too busy blaming Bush.

I'd put Camden and Trenton a notch above Newark these days.

None of the three evening newscasts from the major networks today mentioned his party affiliation. I don't see it in this story either. Gee, I wonder why.

CORRUPTION RULES!!!!!

[HALLGATOR]

If guilty, throw his azz in jail with the rest of the common criminals.
