Prominent Buffalo developer Louis Ciminelli has been sentenced to 28 months in Federal prison along with a $500 thousand fine for his conviction on charges in connection with the 'Buffalo Billion' program. Ciminelli is out on bail pending appeal.
Ciminelli was sentenced Monday in federal court for a pay-to-play conspiracy in which his firm won a development job worth a half billion dollars.
Ciminelli and three others were convicted over the summer. Prosecutors say the scheme involved state-funded contracts worth more than $850 million.
Prosecutors say Ciminelli and others in his company contributed nearly $100,000 to Cuomo's campaign. The Democratic governor was not accused of wrongdoing.
A federal jury convicted two other developers and former president of the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute Alain Kaloyeros.
Kaloyeros is scheduled for sentencing next week.
And now the Feds decide to look into western NY construction?
Wait until they look at NYC unions or PA road construction.
“The Democratic governor was not accused of wrongdoing.”
Of course not.
Little fish, call me when we are talking beedy eyed arrogant cuomo
