Corrupt ex-New Orleans mayor is jailed for 10 years for living large on laundered money as city suffered in wake of Hurricane Katrina

Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has reported to a federal prison in Texarkana, Texas, to begin serving a 10-year sentence for corruption during the years when the city was struggling to recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina.

Nagin arrived at the facility shortly before noon Monday. New Orleans television stations showed images of Nagin hugging family members in a parking lot before he entered the lockup.

Nagin, a Democrat, was thrust into the national spotlight in 2005, when Katrina overwhelmed levees and flooded 80 percent of New Orleans, killing 1,500 people and causing some $80 billion in damage.

  2. I remember this clown wouldn't evacuate citizens from the town before Katrina hit because the government was going to provide school buses instead of Trailways coaches that he insisted on which never came. The people were trapped in the sports stadium which became a stinking living hell. Another good example of a Democrat mayor not qualified for the job and a crook.
