Anyone looking for evidence of the long-lasting negative effects of political corruption in Northeastern Pennsylvania need look no further than Salem Township, where a flawed $11 million sewer project that got the go-ahead after an alleged bribe was paid to a state senator continues to cost taxpayers.As reported exclusively in last Sunday's Citizens' Voice, the project overseen by a once-prominent engineer who served time in an unrelated corruption case is plagued with problems and might leave taxpayers on the hook for $500,000.According to federal prosecutors, the $11 million low-interest state loan that funded construction of the sanitary sewer system was secured only after a $1,000 bribe was paid to former state Sen.
