Fox News
Harlan Kelly, a former head of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission who tried to steer a city streetlight contract, was found guilty of federal fraud Friday.
Prosecutors argued — and jurors agreed — that Kelly tried to steer a city streetlight contract to a local contractor in exchange for deeply discounted construction work on his home and other gifts. Jurors also found that Kelly lied to a lender in order to acquire a $1.3 million loan.
A sentencing date wasn't immediately set. But Kelly’s attorney, Brian Getz, said he’d seek to dismiss the convictions or appeal the verdicts, The San Francisco Standard reported.
