Ray Nagin Faces State Ethics Charges (Former N.O. Mayor)
Rush Radio 99.5 WRNO ^ | Friday, May 7, 2010 | The Associated Press

The state ethics board is charging former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin with two possible violations, for receiving gifts from a one-time city vendor and for his involvement with a company that was negotiating tax breaks with the city.

Copies of the charges, which were sent to Nagin through his attorney late last month, were received by The Associated Press on Friday.

One charge involves gifts to Nagin paid for by technology firm NetMethods and its owner Mark St. Pierre, who had several city contracts. NetMethods paid for Nagin and his family to travel to Jamaica in 2005 and to Hawaii in 2004, according to newspaper reports.

The other charge involves a countertop installation company owned by Nagin and his sons. The company, Stone Age LLC, received compensation for services provided to Home Depot when Home Depot was negotiating tax breaks and other items with the city.

Looks like you’ll need to find someone else who drink single malt whiskey.

Marc come out in the media the past couple weeks since Nagin was leaving office to express some views on something. I wasn’t paying attention. I said, “Look at the roaches coming out the woodwork”.
