City insider given 10 years in prison for red light cameras scandal

Latest: Corruption and Money Laundering.


John Bills was sentenced to 10 years in prison Monday f
or taking up to $2 million in bribes and gifts in return
 for steering tens of millions of dollars in red-light
camera contracts to an Arizona company. 

Pension payments to the City Hall insider convicted of taking bribes in the red light camera scandal would be forever suspended under a unanimous decision by the trustees of the Municipal Employees Benefit and Annuity Fund.
The board on Thursday voted 5-0 to suspend payments effective Sept 1 for John Bills, who rose to the No. 2 position in the Department of Transportation. The 55-year-old Bills retired in June 2011 from that $139,000-a-year job.
