It’s 10 years in prison for Brian.

Judge Richard Sullivan handed down the sentence to disgraced former Assemblymember and head of the New York City Central Labor Council (CLC) Brian McLaughlin on Wednesday afternoon, May 20. McLaughlin, dressed in a blue pinstriped suit and accompanied at the sentencing by his three children, pleaded guilty in March of 2008 to embezzling nearly $2.2 million from organizations he worked for and people he served – including the local little league.

The judge said that while he considered all of the letters he received in support of McLaughlin, he could not overlook the nature of the defendant’s conduct.
