Bill Campbell (mayor)

From Freepedia

Bill Campbell (born 1953), He was the mayor of Atlanta, Georgia from 1994 to 2002. Campbell was the fifty-seventh mayor in the city's history and the third African American to hold the office. He is the younger brother of former North Carolina State Auditor Ralph Campbell.

Heartily endorsed by his predecessor, Maynard Jackson, to take the reins in the 1993 election, the office subsequently fell into disfavor during his second term due to his affirmative action programs for the metropolitan area. Campbell was succeeded by Shirley Franklin.

In August, 2004, he was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of racketeering, corruption, bribery, and tax fraud in violation of the RICO statute, mail fraud, and wire fraud.
