The sleaze keeps on comin’.

A former intern for the House Democratic Caucus says he was instructed to shred boxes of personnel records later sought in a grand jury probe into whether state employees were given taxpayer-funded bonuses in return for political work.

The shredding took place at the time a computer server was being relocated inside the Capitol building. Investigators now want to know if the move was used as cover to destroy hourly leave and compensatory time slips. Prosecutors are attempting to determine whether the destruction was part of a coverup.

The slips could have established whether those employees actually used vacation or compensatory time and whether more than $1.8 million in payroll bonuses awarded to many of them was related to the campaign work.
