Pasonick Gets Prison Time for Bribery

An engineer from Wilkes-Barre was sentenced Friday to one year in prison for bribing a Luzerne County school director.

It is the latest punishment handed down in the on-going corruption scrandal.

Michael Pasonick offered cash to a Luzerne County board member in exchange for a contract back in 2007. He admitted he offered the elected officials between $1,000 and $5,000.

As part of his sentence Pasonick must also pay a $250,000 fine.
