Orlando Toll's PR man's bribery charge settled

August 3, 2007

TOLLROADSNews

Ron Pecora the longtime marketing and PR consultant to Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) won't face bribery charges in court after all.  State prosecutors agreed to drop the prosecution without an  admission of guilt from Pecora and in return for 100 hours of community service.

The indictment against Pecora alleged that $2,600 worth of tickets to Disney and other theme parks that he provided to the toll authority's then chairman Alan Keen constituted a bribe designed to maintain his PR contract with the toll authority.

This always seemed improbable since it was Pecora who publicized the case of the unpaid tickets. Also Keen is a multi-millionaire developer and bigtime philanthropist who is unlikely to be that cheap to buy.
