Martineau is scheduled for sentencing tomorrow on corruption charges. Martineau pleaded guilty in November to corruption charges for steering legislation to benefit businesses with which he had plastic and paper bag contracts. Martineau's sentencing is slated for 9:30 a.m. in U.S. District Court, Providence, before Judge Mary M. Lisi, according to an advisory from U.S. Attorney Robert Clark Corrente's office. Martineau, who was a longtime state representative from Woonsocket, pleaded guilty to two felony charges of depriving Rhode Islanders of the right to his honest services for $891,500 worth of paper and plastic bag contracts from the CVS drugstore chain and Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island. Martineau then tried to influence health-care and other legislation for the two companies. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.
