Source? He was a State Treasurer involved in a complicated bribery and contracting scandal. It’s not a he-said-she-said sort of case. His accuser was a deputy comptroller for Pittsburgh Public Schools who noted contracts were wildly overvalued for the work and called the State Auditor General who called the FBI to investigate the matter. Who are you suggesting was lying?
Interesting! Thanks. That has some more nuance than I was expecting.
PA state government is rife with corruption of every level and so we as residents tend to leap to conclusions that every state official, especially the elected ones, are always committing some kind of crime and it’s just the unlucky ones who get caught and tried. The State Treasurer in particular has a recent bad history.
If only all politicians did this after a felony conviction.
