WASHINGTON (CN) — The Supreme Court appeared interested Monday in weakening a federal anti-bribery law prohibiting officials from accepting gifts from those their actions benefit.
A mayor from Portage, Indiana, asked the court to overturn his corruption conviction for accepting a reward after an official act. James Snyder accepted $13,000 from Great Lakes Peterbilt after the city awarded the trucking company two contracts for their vehicles.
This is exactly the kind of thing Clarence is accused of ... accepting money or gifts in exchange for perceived services. It's why there's a call for Ethics Rules, yet these doinks want to weaken existing laws.
