Ex-Democrat Guilty Of Bribery

Associated Press Writer
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- Paul Adler, a former Rockland County
Democratic chairman who was a fund-raiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton, pleaded guilty Tuesday to bribery and tax evasion
charges.
In exchange for the pleas, which relate to a 14-count indictment
filed last year, federal prosecutors agreed to recommend 18 to 24
months in prison when Adler is sentenced in May.
Adler, 42, a real estate broker, was party chairman from 1996
until he was arrested in September.
He admitted in court that he ''offered to use my political
contacts'' to get a government job for a local planning board
member in exchange for approval of a subdivision. The subdivision
was never approved and the board member did not get a government
job.
Adler also admitted understating his income for 1996 and 1997 by
more than $200,000. He said he took illegal deductions, including
declaring as a charitable contribution the tuition he paid for
his children's private schooling.
Attorney Murray Richman said the tax charge ''seemed to break the
camel's back'' in Adler's decision to plead guilty. The other
charges, he said, were ''defendable.''
Adler declined to comment.
His name surfaced on a list of overnight guests at the White
House. Karen Dunn, a spokeswoman for Clinton, said the senator
''knows that this must be a very painful time for the Adler
family and her thoughts are with them.''
Adler must refile his tax returns for 1996 through 1998. Richman
said he would be paying $60,000 to $70,000 in additional taxes.
