Bryant will report to prison today

by: Jason Springer

Tue Aug 25, 2009 at 07:08:27 AM EDT



Today is the day for Wayne Bryant:
Former state Sen. Wayne Bryant will serve a four-year sentence at the minimum-security camp in Beckley, W.Va. Bryant was convicted in November of fraud and bribery charges.

Jurors found the lawmaker took a "low-show" job at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in exchange for bringing state money to the institution.

I don't know that I've seen the term "low-show" job before. Bryant is due at the prison sometime today to begin serving his sentence.

Interesting point (0.00 / 0)
I've wondered the origin of "low show job" too.

The first time I ever saw it was in an Asbury Park Press editorial.  I thought they made it up.  But then I saw Christie use it the other day and I wondered why no one in authority questioned that.

If "low show" workers are stealing from the boss, by Bush Justice definitions, then alot of professions are full of criminals.
