- Unit 4 began commercial operation in 1981 Sandow Power Plant's Unit 4, located in Milam County, began generating power on May 15, 1981. Over the past 30 years, the unit has generated more than 122 million net megawatt-hours of electricity.
U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle imposed the sentence on Bernard Sandow and imposed a $25,000 fine on Sandow`s now-defunct firm, Systematic Recovery Service Ltd. The money will be paid from an escrow fund.
Sandow hired Michael Raymond to secure business for Systematic Recovery in early 1984 and told him to do 'whatever he had to do to bring in' the city contract, according to Sandow`s testimony.
Several months later, Raymond, who also used the name Michael Burnett, was arrested on gun charges in Tennessee and began cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The charges against Sandow arose from the Operation Incubator investigation of corruption at City Hall that began with the arrest of Raymond.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Ira Raphaelson told Norgle that when Sandow was first confronted by federal authorities in late 1985, he agreed to cooperate. Raphaelson said Sandow 'found corruption existing in New York and Chicago where he was dealing with underpaid government employees who were dealing with government contracts worth millions.'
Sandow`s attorney, Michael Monico, told Norgle that Sandow 'has suffered a long time, lost his business, his savings, and spent the last four years in limbo' testifying for the government here and in New York.
Sandow testified in the federal trial of former mayoral aide Clarence McClain and former Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Morgan Finley. Both were convicted this summer and sentenced to prison. Sandow, through Raymond, paid McClain $35,000 and Finley $25,000 for their help in trying to secure the traffic ticket contract.
All Sandow`s efforts failed, however, and the contract was awarded to Systematic Recovery`s chief rival, Datacom, a subsidiary of Lockheed Corp.
Sandow detailed how he had undertaken a similar campaign of corruption to secure a contract to collect unpaid parking-ticket revenues for New York City. He testified that he dispensed more than $250,000 in bribes to city officials and others.
Sandow still faces 10 years in prison for perjury in a New York case. Monico said that Sandow perjured himself rather than incriminate a friend who he feared would commit suicide if he were charged in federal court. Monico said that though Sandow perjured himself, he eventually agreed to testify.
