PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Former Philadelphia city councilman Rick Mariano, who spent four years in federal prison following a conviction for bribery, returned to Philadelphia City Council today for the first time since his release, to testify in support of a bill that helps ex-offenders get hired.
It was Mariano’s first appearance in City Council since spending four years in federal prison on the bribery conviction that drove him from office.
“I met presidents of the United States, mayors, governors, senators — and I can’t get a job,” Mariano told the Council hearing on a bill dubbed “Ban The Box.”
