Another crooked mayor bites the dust
Ray Nagin, New Orleans mayor during the Katrina crisis, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Unfortunately, crooked major urban mayors seem to be plentiful. Behind every major urban financial crisis or bankruptcy there is a history of corruption and incompetence. Detroit is the current poster boy. Yes, the auto industry crash hit the city hard, but that didn't stop convicted former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick from engaging in massive corruption. It seems that in many large cities, corrupt white mayors are being succeeded by corrupt black mayors. The political culture thrives no matter who is the mayor.

A federal investigation may lead to a third governor of Illinois going to jail, as well.
