"As billions of dollars begin to flow in for rebuilding," narrator Stacey Keach Jr. says in a promo for the episode, "Nagin's anti-corruption ideals seem to wash away like the flood waters -- and the mayor sells out the citizens of the Crescent City for little more than $500,000 in luxury trips, services and cash."


Looks like Nagin is going to get some more time in the spotlight via CNBCs American Greed. Should be interesting.

Yes

"We as black people, it's time, it's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day." Nagin also stated that New Orleans "will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."

He's been in prison for about a year or so.

This is a state wide issue and it is why the budget is so messed up. We protect construction spending and let contractors with connections go nuts.

If the show is implying that Nagin's illegal activity only started post-Katrina then they are way wrong. My friend's FIL was complaining years before that about Nagin and his people requiring payoffs for every city contract.
