Worth noting was U.S. District Court Judge Dennis Cavanaugh's decision to spare the onetime head of a politically active engineering firm jail time. Howard Schoor, a founder of Schoor DePalma, faced up to fourteen months in prison after admitting that he paid a $15,000 bribe to former Ocean Township Mayor Terrance Weldon and Sewerage Authority Chairman Stephen Kessler. Instead, Schoor will spend the next two years on probation.
