Embattled City Hall power Councilmember Curren Price — who stands accused of funneling nearly $1 million to his wife’s consulting firm and sticking taxpayers with the bill for her health insurance — pleaded not guilty Friday as his sweeping corruption case barrels toward trial. The longtime councilman faces 12 felony counts, including grand theft by embezzlement, conflict of interest and perjury. Prosecutors say the charges stem from a yearslong pattern of undisclosed financial dealings.
