Indictments Hit New Jersey Officials in Bridge Contract Case
Former New Jersey Secretary of State Robert J. Burkhardt and a Republican state senator faced federal indictments in Newark for allegedly shaking down a New York construction firm over bridge contracts. Burkhardt, denying any bribery, is accused of taking 20,000 to aid a Delaware River and Bay Authority project. Senator Willard Knowlton faces 34 counts linked to steering contracts for Route 48 overpass and Chester Bridgeport Bridge foundation work, plus tax charges for undeclared income.
