Bruno
The Augean Stables that are Albany – at last, the cleaning starts:
Former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno has been sentenced to two years in federal prison.
The judge told Bruno 97 months would have been too long of a sentence and probation would have been too little – that is why he decided on this sentence.
Bruno will not begin serving time until the Supreme Court makes a ruling on the Honest Services Law.
After a ruling is made, Bruno’s sentencing will be reevaluated.

Please, enlighten me.

Apparently he was also acting as a “paid consultant” for these firms. So basically, he was convicted of receiving kickbacks from companies for sending Federal business their way.
