Leland Wong gets five years for corruption
City Hall insider Leland Wong will get some time for his dirty dealings.
From the Los Angeles Times,
A judge on Friday sentenced former Los Angeles city commissioner Leland Wong to five years in state prison for his role in a "pay to play" corruption scandal that plagued the administration of former Mayor James Hahn.
Wong was found guilty last summer on 14 of the 21 felony counts brought against him in a case that focused heavily on his work for Evergreen, a Taiwan-based shipping company that had been seeking a lucrative lease at the Port of Los Angeles.
With Wong sentencing and with the investigation of Ted Stein drawing to a close, the curtain goes down for the final time on the dubious dealings of the Mayor Hahn era.
No word on the start date for the sequal "Political Follies of Villar".
