LAPLACE — The U.S. Attorney’s Office said today they have decided to again postpone sentencing for former St. John the Baptist Parish President Bill Hubbard and reset is for early 2011.

Hubbard resigned from office in September 2009 a day before pleading guilty to accepting bribes from parish contractors. His sentencing, which has been delayed multiple times, was pushed back again so that prosecutors can continue to evaluate the extent of Hubbard’s cooperation with the court. U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey granted the 90-day continuance motion and the sentencing has been reset for Jan. 20, 2011.

Authorities say Hubbard took $20,000 in bribes from three parish contractors and used the money to purchase a Toyota Camry for a woman with whom he had a sexual relationship.
