Julian Walker with the Virginia Pilot has the story:
Hamilton of Newport News, who must report to federal authorities by Sept. 19, also faces 2 years of probation after he leaves prison.
Hamilton, 59, was vice chairman of the House Appropriations Committee when he solicited a job as director of a teacher training center he helped create at Old Dominion University with $500,000 in taxpayer money. The Republican lawmaker was hired as the center’s part-time director for $40,000 a year.
Sad to see this happen in one sense, but satisfied that such behavior is noticed and punished in Virginia — by both parties.
