Federal prosecutors accused Taylor of soliciting bribes in two schemes, including one in which a Florida businessman paid him tens of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts in an effort to secure a multimillion-dollar contract to put panic buttons in city schools. The sprawling contract was never awarded, but Taylor was able to secure the company a much smaller pilot program with the city through a noncompetitive purchase of $19,830, according to the indictment.
