State Official Sentenced to Prison

Former legislative aide Brett Cott has been sentenced to at least 21 months in jail. Cott and two other state democrats were convicted earlier of using taxpayer money for political campaigning.


Political Punishment

Brett Cott is looking at up to five years
To atone for what’s called Bonusgate.
His attorney, meantime, has launched an appeal
In an attempt to alter his fate.

The attorney insists the judge is way out of line,
Treating the defendants like thugs.
Says Bryan Walk, other folks get less time
When convicted of dealing in drugs.
