BREAKING NEWS – New Orleans, Louisiana – Ray Nagin has been convicted of accepting bribes and free trips from contractors in exchange for helping them clinch millions of dollars in city work when he was mayor of New Orleans. Prosecutors in the federal corruption case alleged that he took bribes worth more than $500,000 through various criminal acts, starting before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 and continuing through the storm’s recovery. Nagin’s attorneys tried and failed to convince the jury, that all the paperwork that proved his innocence, was washed away in the flood after President Bush had the levees “blown up” with explosives in attempt to run all the blacks out of town.
