Former chief advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin is among seven individuals facing new charges in a burgeoning City Hall corruption probe. Recent indictments reveal a network of bribery schemes, with accusations that city officials accepted bribes in exchange for favorable treatment on projects such as the redesign of McGuinness Boulevard.
