In New York, the fruit basket is now the preferred means of delivery for alleged bribes. (Maybe the feds are switching methods; in the New Jersey Bid Rig cases they had uber-crook Solomon Dwek -- who still awaits sentencing -- deliver bribes in Federal Express envelopes.)
Former Queens Assemblyman Jimmy Meng (D-Flushing) -- the father of current congressional candidate and Assemblywoman Grace Meng (D-Flushing, 6th congressional district) was arrested Tuesday in New York by federal authorities on wire fraud charges stemming from Meng the Elder's alleged claiming he could arrange for a more lenient plea deal for a business associate facing criminal tax charges.
Grace Meng is scheduled to face current Republican City Councilman Dan Halloran in the November general election.
