The federal complaint against Mr. Skelos claims that he used his position to pressure a developer, believed to be mega-donor Glenwood Management, into getting his son a no - show consultant job at a company that
produced water filtration systems for municipalities, a company which Glenwood holds substantial stock in.
In fact, an MIT team has discovered that this low - tech
filtration system can
produce up to four liters of drinking
water a day — enough to quench the thirst of a typical person.
