A federal judge sentenced the former president of New York state’s construction unions to more than four years in prison for taking bribes to help a non-union contractor win contracts and gain other benefits of organized labor association without employing union workers.
James Cahill was the last of 11 defendants to be sentenced in connection to the bribery scheme and received the most severe sentence, records show. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen McMahon in Manhattan sentenced him May 18 to 51 months in prison, to be served at a medium-security federal prison camp in Otisville, N.Y. McMahon also ordered Cahill to pay a $150,000 fine.
