Dell Katrina: New Orleans Mayor received bribe from Dell Computers
Here.
The corruption charges are based on email messages that the plaintiffs - Southern Electronics and Active Solutions - claim show that Meffert wanted them out and arranged to have one of his vendors and associates, Mark St. Pierre, set up a deal with Dell. When Meffert left City Hall in 2006, it was to take up a $600,000 consultancy job with St. Pierre's company, NetMethods, at the same time as another company owned by St. Pierre, Veracent, signed a deal to become Dell's camera supplier.
