The former head of food services for New York City public schools was sentenced to two years in prison on Monday for a bribery scandal that resulted in children being served chicken tenders contaminated with metal and bone.
Eric Goldstein, the former school food chief, was sentenced in Brooklyn federal court along with three men who ran a vendor that had contracted with the city to provide school food — Blaine Iler, Michael Turley and Brian Twomey. Iler was sentenced to one year and a $10,000 fine, Turley to 15 months and Twomey to 15 months and a $10,000 fine.
All four men were found guilty of bribery, conspiracy and other charges after a monthlong trial in 2023.
i know every place has its scumbags, i’ve just noticed a lot of these articles about NY in the last couple weeks
Yeah, cause New York actually puts a lot of these people on trial rather than letting them get away with it
Sureeeeeeeeee
Hey, they aren’t perfect, but putting even a single politician on trial for crimes and convicting them makes them better than 99% of the United States.
A lady around my area stole almost 200k from youth soccer over 4 years. She got time served and 100 hours community service, which she was allowed to complete at her husband’s business.
Another politician stole thousands from the city, claiming it was for “previously unpaid bonuses”. He didn’t even get charged or step down. He’s still in office to this day (not my district, can’t really do much cause it’s all super rich mother fuckers who love him)
