Former Kenner City Councilman Nick Baroni vs. Former New Orleans City Council President Oliver Thomas

Can anyone explain the sentencing guidelines for these two council members?

Former Kenner City Councilman Nick Baroni sentencing guidelines calls for a range of 15 to 21 months in prison for defrauding the Navy of almost $120,000.

Former New Orleans City Council President Oliver Thomas sentencing guidelines extended to 37 months in prison for one count of bribery of $20,000.

Dilemma: Defrauding the Navy of $120,000 vs. Accepting a bribe of $20,000. Something is definitely wrong with this picture.
