Former Hawaii Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English, a Democrat, was given a 40-month prison term and a $100,000 fine by a federal judge on July 5 after pleading guilty to honest-services wire fraud five months ago.
English admitted that he took bribes from a business owner in exchange for promoting wastewater legislation that would help a company involved in government-financed cesspool conversion projects, according to an Associated Press report.
