The court rules it’s up to state to regulate this situation…..
The c out HAS went this way in the pass against Federal cases against lawmakers in the same situation…
- The court rules in Snyder v. United States, that federal bribery law does not make it a crime for state and local officials to accept gratuities that may be given as a token of appreciation after the official act. Federal law, the court writes, “leaves it to state and local governments to regulate gratuities to state and local officials.”
