School board pres. accused
The president of a Long Island school board, who is also has a primary position in a chain of nursing home, has been accused of taking a $50 million bribe from the nation's largest pharmacy.
Murray Forman was first elected to the board of the Lawrence School District in 2005. With the accusations against him, Forman now facing a federal civil matter. Forman has denied the allegations, and said that the government's case lacked merit.
This is not the first time that Forman has been associated with a case.
Earlier this year, parents of students in the Lawrence school district filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against members of the board, stating that the board does not offer enough support to its students, and favors students of a certain religion. The board is composed of seven Orthodox Jews, six of whom educate their own children outside of the Lawrence school district.
That case has since been dismissed.
