Former state comptroller Alan Hevesi was sentenced to one to four years in prison Friday for improperly approving $250 million in state pension fund investments in exchange for nearly $1 million in gifts and campaign contributions.
Mr. Hevesi was sentenced by Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus, the administrative judge of the Manhattan criminal term, who took over the case after Justice Lewis Bart Stone withdrew.
