Remember Ray Nagin, the hyper-corrupt mayor of New Orleans who siphoned off millions of aid dollars meant for Hurricane Katrina.  That Mayor Nagin who called New Orleans a "Chocolate City".  Well that very Mayor Nagin was just sent to Federal Prison for 10 years!

NEW ORLEANS — C. Ray Nagin, the former mayor of New Orleans, was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Wednesday on federal corruption charges, ending a case that began with the rebuilding of the city after Hurricane Katrina.
The sentence was less than the recommended 15 years, but Judge Ginger Berrigan of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana told the court that the evidence failed to show that Mr. Nagin had organized or had been a leader of a corruption scheme.
“Mr. Nagin claimed a much, much smaller share of the profits of the crime than any other member of the group,” Judge Berrigan said, referring to the businessmen who profited from the scheme. The judge said that Mr. Nagin’s leadership was much needed after Hurricane Katrina but that it had also been lagging.  Read the entire story.
