Remember Ray Nagin? Charged with 21 Counts- None Related to Katrina

Remember Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin?  You know the guy walking around like a chicken without a head when Katrina paid a visit.  Cops dissolved into bi-racist vigilantes killing people they thought they should shoot mainly if they were black because the whites didn’t steal.  Nurses and Doctors in some places abandoned the patients and went to higher ground, remember particularly the case of the nursing home. and the body bags being pulled out of there when it was all over. 

His city went into dissolve mode and all he can do was talk, talk and ride with the Mr. President Mr. Bush when he came around to see what a city goes through when all branches of the  the government abandons it on an emergency.  From that chapter, they should learn from NYC, from San Francisco, from New Mexico and Tokyo.

 Mr mayor Nagin has been charged with 21 counts, including wire fraud, bribery, filing false tax returns and money laundering. No, No charges for having  seen New Orleans destroyed. What ever it becomes now, it will never would be what it was.  That would be ok if it morph into something better but that is not happening here.

The charges come amid an investigation that has already seen two businessmen and two former city officials plead guilty.

Mr Nagin was mayor from 2002-10. He came to national attention in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

His indictment in the case has been long expected.

Mr Nagin, 56, is accused of using his office for personal gain and of accepting bribes and other illicit gratuities while the city of New Orleans reeled in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

According to the federal indictment, Mr Nagin accepted more than $160,000 (£100,000) in bribes for his family business.

In exchange, Mr Nagin allegedly helped local businessman Frank Fradella secure millions of dollars in contracts from the city in the wake of Katrina.

Mr Nagin is also charged with accepting payoffs worth at least $60,000 from another businessman, Rodney Williams, who was given contracts for engineering, management and architectural work in the city.

Fradella and Williams have already pleaded guilty in connection with the case.
