Ex-Representative Veon Sentenced to 1 to 4 Years in Prison



Former state Representative Mike Veon has been sentenced to at least another year in state prison for his conviction on corruption charges.
 
Dauphin County Judge Bruce Bratton on Tuesday sentenced the one-time House majority whip to a prison of one to four years, fined him $1,500 and ordered him to pay $119,000 in restitution. The 55-year-old Veon is already serving six- to 14-year prison term — the longest handed out in a state corruption probe — for illegally using public resources for political purposes.
 
Tuesday's sentence was for his conviction for misusing state funds at a nonprofit he once ran in Beaver County. Veon and his mother both addressed the judge before he imposed the sentence. Veon apologized and said he takes full responsibility for his actions.
