    I just looked up my states person in leadership. National Finance chairman Chris Korge.

    Korge is mentioned several times in the former Mayor’s book, Sins of South Beach: The True Story of Corruption, Violence, Murder and the Making of Miami Beach. In his book Daoud recounts two particular incidents where Korge offered him bribes in exchange for favorable votes in relation to real estate development projects under review by the Miami Beach City Council.

    Daoud was later indicted (1991) and convicted (1992) on federal bribery charges and served 17 months in federal prison. Daoud testified against many of the South Florida players who had paid him bribes during his terms as Mayor. Korge was never charged for any of the bribes alleged in Daoud’s book.
