A former NYC school food chief is sentenced to 2 years in a tainted chicken bribery case
Briefly

"Eric Goldstein corruptly abused his high-ranking position of trust as a public official and pursued lucrative bribes at the expense of schoolchildren, many of whom rely on healthy meals provided by the New York City Department of Education."
"Great responsibility came with overseeing the school system's food operations, but shamefully, Goldstein prioritized lining his pockets with payoffs from his co-defendants to ensure the DOE purchased their products and that their food stayed in the schools even after plastic, bones and metal were found in the chicken serviced to schoolchildren and teachers."
"Today's jail sentences should serve as a lesson to these defendants and others that public corruption, especially acts that jeopardize the well-being of our children, will be punished."
