Ex-Statee Senator Facing Federal Charges

A former Democratic State Senator is facing federal charges on bribery and tax fraud. 

 

Martin Sandoval is accused by the feds of taking money from red light camera companies while he was the chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. He also stands accused of working in favor of laws to support red light cameras and working against any legislation that would harm the industry. Democrat Governor JB Pritzker says more has to be done to end corruption in government.

 

 

The federal indictment says Sandoval filed a false tax return in 2017 when he declared his income at $125,000 even though he knew it substantially exceeded that amount.
