LAS VEGAS (AP) - Two former Clark County commissioners were sentenced Monday to federal prison for taking bribes from a southern Nevada strip club owner in a political corruption case dubbed G-sting.
Dario Herrera, 33, a one-time Democratic candidate for Congress and former state Assemblyman, was sentenced to 50 months.
His former colleague, Mary Kincaid-Chauncey, a 68-year-old flower shop owner and 24-year political veteran, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison.
The two former commissioners were among four indicted in May 2003 in a case that detailed how strip club owner Michael Galardi traded money and sex for political favors. One former commissioner pleaded guilty. Another is due to go to trial next month.
Herrera, a former political protege of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, was found guilty in May of 17 of 19 conspiracy, wire fraud and extortion charges. Kincaid-Chauncey was convicted of 13 of 14 charges, including conspiracy, wire fraud and extortion.
Nice people these Democrats.
