Former state Assemblyman Joe Errigo has pleaded not guilty to federal charges.
He and lobbyist Robert Scott Gaddy were indicted Monday on charges of conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud.
The charges involve legislation for a large re-development project in the City of Rochester.
During their investigation, federal agents arranged for a contact to approach Gaddy with an offer to bribe an assemblyman, and he allegedly steered them to Errigo.
