Ray Nagin, former New Orleans mayor, charged with taking bribes while in office
A federal grand jury charged former Mayor Ray Nagin Friday with 21 counts of corruption, including six counts of bribery, one count of conspiracy, one count of money laundering, nine counts of deprivation of honest services through wire fraud and four counts of filing false tax returns, alleging that while in office, Nagin took cash bribes and gifts from two city contractors. Nagin's long-expected indictment arrived more than two and a half years after he left City Hall and relocated to the Dallas area.
So while everyone was blaming Bush for Katrina, saying Bush hates black people, you have this going on right under the nose.
The mayor said this in 2006:
In January 2006, he apologized for a Martin Luther King Day speech in which he predicted New Orleans would be a "chocolate city" and asserted that "God was mad at America."
