John Kramer and Carlos Ortiz, both former vice presidents at the pharmacy company, made a brief appearance in federal court this morning. They pleaded not guilty last year to paying former state Sen. John Celona to promote the company's legislative agenda. They then asked a judge to dismiss a bribery charge against them, saying the indictment had vague allegations about alleged bribes paid to Celona. Prosecutors last week brought a new indictment to make the allegations more specific. U.S. Magistrate David Martin released both men on $10,000 unsecured bond. -- The Associated Press Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsDennis | March 20, 2008 5:11 PM link Is there no end to the corruption in Rhode Island. It's getting to the point that I am beginning to feel ashamed to live in this state. Greed seems to be the norm. While many are hard working citizens, it seems we only hear about the bad apples.
