Federal prosecutors say Presta “cynicially exploited” a public safety initiative.

Federal prosecutors are recommending a minimum of two years in prison for former Crestwood Mayor Louis Presta, who pleaded guilty late last year in a red-light camera bribery scheme.
In their memo to U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Durkin, prosecutors say Presta “cynically exploited” what was supposed to be a public safety initiative.
“There is a strong need for a sentence that will assure the public that corruption from their elected officials is not tolerated and that will serve as a warning to Presta and other officials,” prosecutors wrote in the memo filed Friday.
