Councilmen Enrique Martin and John Sanders and lawyers Jack Pytel and Juan Pena were led separately into the federal building in handcuffs and are awaiting arraignment.
According to a federal indictment, Pena gave Pytel $25,000 on March 14 and Pytel gave Martin $2,500 in cash to get his vote in favor of the Linebarger Goggan Blair Pena & Sampson bid. He also gave Sanders a similar amount.
On April 18, the City Council approved the contract with both Martin and Sanders voting for it.
Of course! You can tell because there isn't a letter after their names indicating party affiliation.
