Former State Senator Is Sentenced to 7 Years in Vast Bribery Case
The New York Times
by Benjamin Weiser
Sorry you won't be at the Barc for opening night, Carl. Don't forget to write!
Carl Kruger, the once-powerful New York State senator from Brooklyn who resigned his office in disgrace and pleaded guilty to corruption charges in December, was sentenced to seven years in prison on Thursday by a federal judge in Manhattan.
Mr. Kruger, 62, was the first defendant to be sentenced in a widespread bribery conspiracy case that originally ensnared eight people, and was seen as offering yet more evidence of the apparently unending wave of corruption in Albany.
NoLandGrab: Albany... and Prospect Heights.
