TRENTON – Senators John H. Adler and Ellen Karcher today said enactment of their bill, S-14, to impose mandatory prison terms of up to 10 years and loss of pensions and benefits for corrupt public officials will crack down on abuses of the public trust.
“Politicians take notice – the price of corruption just went up,” said Senator Adler, D-Camden.
“This new law will help match the penalty with the crime,” said Senator Karcher, D-Monmouth and Mercer.
