ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A former Alaska legislator convicted of taking bribes to push legislation for a major natural gas pipeline has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison.
Former Republican state representative Vic Kohring (KOHR'-ing) was sentenced Thursday in federal court. He was convicted in November of three corruption charges.
Kohring was convicted of accepting at least $2,600 from executives of VECO Corporation. The influential Alaska company provided engineering, construction and facility maintenance services to oil producers.
Prosecutors say Kohring used VECO CEO Bill Allen as a human ATM machine, tapping him for handouts of $600 to $700 at a time.
