Federal prosecutors say a developer in Orange Beach, Ala., bribed the then-mayor of the beachfront city with a partnership in a vacation home and a BMW. According to the Mobile Press-Register, developer Jim Brown split the insurance money on the house, which was destroyed in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan, with former Mayor Steve Russo. In exchange, Brown, who has been indicted by a federal grand jury, allegedly received favorable treatment. http://www.al.com/news/mobileregister/index.ssf?/base/news/1149240369129370.xml&coll=3
