Bridgeport Mayor Indicted

Indicted Mayor
Joseph P. Ganim |
Last week, Bridgeport, Conn. Mayor Joseph P. Ganim (D) was
indicted on 24 counts of federal violations, including charges of
extortion, bribery, mail fraud, and conspiracy. Ganim is accused
of soliciting nearly half a million dollars in bribes in return
for directing business to his friends and associates, and if
found guilty on all counts, the combination of charges could
bring penalties of as much as 176 years in prison and fines
totaling $6 million.
The Mayor contends he is innocent, of
course, and has refused a request from
Connecticut Governor John Rowland (R) to
step down as mayor.
And why should the pro-gun
community care about the tribulations of the Mayor of Bridgeport?
Ganim was the driving force behind filing
Bridgeport`s reckless
lawsuit against gun makers - a suit that was rejected by the
courts, including the Connecticut State Supreme Court.
