Bribery Charge

Bloomberg's Philip Boroff reports that "New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has accused the former superintendent of the state-owned Manhattan armory where the [Pulse contemporary-art] fair was held last year of extorting money from organizers and soliciting a bribe. In a 31-count indictment filed in New York State Supreme Court, James Jackson was accused of receiving more than $30,000 in cash and goods from Pulse, Marc Jacobs fashion shows and the New York International Carpet Show." The New York Times has a story too, focusing more on the Marc Jacobs angle (apparently 24 of the 31 counts in the indictment relate to Jacobs).
