83-year-old Alabama former legislator sentenced to 13 months in federal prison for kickback scheme
The longest-serving member of the Alabama House of Representatives was sentenced to 13 months in federal prison Tuesday on charges of federal conspiracy and obstruction of justice, despite an earlier nonbinding plea agreement that gave the 83-year-old a more lenient sentence to be served at home. John Rogers was also charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, as part of a kickback scheme that diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars from a fund intended to pay for community projects in Jefferson County. “What's important is that we sent a message to future lawmakers,” George Martin, the federal prosecutor, said outside of the courthouse in Birmingham after the decision.

Scott Keyes, Going founder and chief flight expert, discusses whether JetBlue's recently announced investments in its offerings can change customer perceptions of the airline.  Keyes explains that the airline is facing fierce competition and finding its identity after the Spirit Airlines (SAVE) merger did not go through.
