First, if the OAG was following the evidence wherever it might lead, it's surprising the never got to Mellow, or Fumo, or Musto, or Orie (who they got the first complaint about). Second, ok, even if they missed it the first time, it's impoossible to believe the feds wouldn't now require Mellow to fully cooperate with the AG ongoing 4 caucus probe now - since Mellow publicly has agreed to plead to the exact klind of politics/fundraising on state time and resources that sent Veon, Feese and Cott to prison, and for which Perzel and DeWeese face prison. How can all those staff folks in the House get charged, punished, etc., if the investigation doesn't apply to the Senate? Third, if as we've been told their is interest in a state investigation of gaming and licensing of casinos, recall Mellow was the Senator for and friend of Louie DeNaples. Finally, will this fed conviction take Mellow's $139,000 a year pension? If not, shouldn't AG at least get a guilty plea to an offense that would? Why take Veon, DeWeese, Feese, Perzel and bunch of lesser staff folks' pensions, but not 40 year Senator who put money in his pocket, served as Senate leader and Pro Temp, and has the highest pension of all. Now is the time to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Tom Corbett, who has been pretty guarded in what he says about the ongoing state grand jury investigation, recently said something different, according to two State College reporters. <br /><br />Corbett is constantly reminding inquiring minds that he’s bound by secrecy rules and can’t discuss or divulge a lot of what he knows about the child sex abuse investigation he started three years ago when he was state attorney general. <br /><br />But this month, when Corbett unveiled his budget plan for this year, he did a round of television interviews where he discussed some aspects of the scandal that has engulfed Penn State and Sandusky’s statewide children’s charity. <br /><br />In at least two of those interviews, reporters say, Corbett made statements that The Second Mile is not under investigation. <br /><br />How does Corbett know that? <br /><br />Grand juries are conducted in secret, and law-enforcement officials — police, prosecutors and investigators — are barred by law from talking about it. <br /><br />The television reports — from WJAC and WTAJ, both serving State College — use the present tense to describe Corbett’s comment. Both reporters said Friday that they stand by their reports as accurate. <br /><br />Corbett’s spokesman, Kevin Harley, angrily denied that the governor was talking about the current investigation. <br /><br />In any event, Corbett has some explaining to do and now before a Federal Grand Jury????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454535989576644455.post-48918017987197902522012-02-26T05:37:50.008-05:002012-02-26T05:37:50.008-05:00Hats off to the Pitt BOT ...

They passed a resolution indicating:<br /><br />"To take such steps as are necessary to protect the overall quality and strength of the university in the face of a proposed escalation in the withdrawal of state support."<br /><br />The proposal also stated:<br /><br />"the apparent lack of support for public higher education within the current [state] administration."<br /><br />State Education Secretary Ronald Tomalis, attended Friday's meeting as a nonvoting member of Pitt's board. After the resolution was passed, he asked to address the board. He said he took "great exception" to the characterization and said his boss and the administration do in fact support higher education.<br /><br />Trustee John Pelusi Jr. appeared to take issue with Mr. Tomalis' assessment of the state's treatment of higher education. "The math doesn't add up with no disrespect to the secretary," Mr. Pelusi said.<br /><br />I doubt the passage of the resolution will do much by itself.
