The eight-count federal indictment is focused on Bruno accepting money from business buds seeking state contracts and grants, and on pension fund investment arrangements for some 16 labor unions. According to the Albany Times Union, the U.S. Attorney arrived at the federal courthouse carrying two briefcases and an easel. A full portrait of Bruno's alleged crimes will doubtless emerge in the coming weeks. Kicking off 2009 with a bang: On January 23rd, X State Senator Joe Bruno was charged with corruption.
