Hoskins faces up to five years in prison and fine of up to $250,000 when he is sentenced in June.

The indictment against him also included charges of mail fraud, punishable by up to 20 years in prison, in relation to five checks totaling $127,110 he received for shipping the waste.

1. It is hard times, a man has to make a buck where he finds it. ;)

I wonder if, after legal fees, fines, and prison time, if he will clear a profit on that 127K. No telling what kind of rats may be coming out of that dump....Maybe that is how Republicans got started?
