In September former “Chocolate City” Mayor Ray Nagin will report to prison to serve his 10 year sentence for bribery and corruption.

Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor — including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.

U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan handed down the sentence Wednesday morning.

Nagin was convicted Feb. 12 of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin’s support for various projects. The bribes came in the form of money, free vacations and truckloads of free granite for his family business.

The 58-year-old Democrat had defiantly denied any wrongdoing after his 2013 indictment and during his February trial.

Don’t they all deny wrongdoing?

I don't know, but he will find out about the "Chocolate City" if he drops the soap in the showers.

Anyone go through the list of kickbacks Ray Nagin got? Frankie Vertelli gave him 2 truck loads of granite and Marc St Peter gave him free cell phones for he and his family. WTF? Apparently he could be bought off with anything.
