Detriot - Monica Conyers Sentenced to 37 months in prison
No Class, Monica Conyers who would rather debate school children and stuff money in her pockets is going to jail.
In November 2007 Conyers cast the decisive vote in favor of granting a $1.2 billion waste disposal contract to Texas-based firm Synagro Technologies, Inc. (Synagro). The guilty plea offered by Conyers confirms FBI suspicions that she switched from a “no” to a “yes” vote only after receiving at least $6,000 in bribes from Synagro.
Conspicuously quiet on the issue of Conyers’s resignation was Mayor David Bing. Although he did publicly describe Conyers’ conviction as “unfortunate,” Bing did not call for Conyers to step down.
Federal prosecutors pressed for a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Conyers’s attorney, Steve Fishman, says the prosecution’s case is based on an erroneous “benefit-value” of $1.2 billion, the sum of the contract awarded to Synagro as a result of the bribe. Read More HERE
