Another Mayor Indicted

Big week for Mayors being indicted.

This one comes to us from Gulfport, Mississippi-

The mayor of a Mississippi city devastated by Hurricane Katrina pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he lied to get disaster assistance to repair his damaged beachfront home.

Gulfport Mayor Brent Warr is the highest-ranking public official so far to be charged with fraud related to the storm that slammed the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005.

Note- for those of you keeping score- that makes three (count em- 3!) Mayors indicted in the last 45 days.

Hartford CT

Baltimore MD

Gulfport, MS

When does Harrisburg get to join that list?
