Former lawmakers punished in corruption scheme

Former California assemblyman Tom Calderon, who became a political consultant, was sentenced Monday to a year in jail for laundering money and allowing it to be funneled through his firm. A federal judge ordered that the sentence be served half in federal prison and half in home detention. Plus 100 hours of community service. Calderon, 62, of Montebello admitted that he agreed to conceal bribe payments coming from two undercover FBI agents by having the money go through his political consulting company, the Calderon Group.

Ron Calderon, 59, also of Montebello, is scheduled to be sentenced next Monday,
