TROY (AP) — A man who ran local government in Oakland County’s largest city has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for corruption.
Prosecutors say Brian Kischnick treated the pockets of contractors “as his own” when he was Troy city manager as he sought bribes, meals, booze and housing. It added up to more than $50,000.
Kischnick told a judge last Thursday that he had led a “morally bankrupt life.” He apologized for choosing a “dark and unhealthy path.”
The 30-month sentence ordered by Judge Nancy Edmunds was less than what prosecutors recommended. Kischnick’s attorney says his judgment was clouded by alcohol and
prescription drugs. Anjali Prasad says Kischnick wasn’t “some mastermind in a pay-for-play scheme.”
But prosecutor Dawn Ison says Kischnick never intended to serve Troy with honor.
