Two former contractors with the Birmingham Water Works Board pleaded guilty Friday to state felony ethics charges.
Jerry DeWayne Jones and Terry Lee Williams made their pleas in a Jefferson County courtroom. They are now convicted of offering or giving anything to a public official for the purpose of corruptly influencing official action.
“The people of Alabama deserve to have confidence that those who do business with public entities are operating with integrity and merit, and not illegally gaining this privilege through corrupt payments,” said Attorney General Marshall. “These convictions should send a strong message that those who betray the public trust will be called to account for their crimes and face serious consequences.”
