Editorial from Saturday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette -- and there's a separate article after the jump:
If Sen. Piccola wants to launch sleazy investigations, he should pay for them himself.
And from columnist John Forester in Sunday's Reading Eagle -- note the "as well as Piccola himself" after the jump:
... the Senate is wrapping itself up in fool's errands, such as hiring private investigators to look into reports that a representative for a Hollywood studio had lobbied the Legislature for a tax break for filmmakers shooting in Pennsylvania without registering as a lobbyist.
The lobbyist said she was talking to Piccola's 49 Senate colleagues as well as Piccola himself, via e-mail. The woman has admitted the gaffe and filed the required papers.
Are you tired of this too? Do you think that Republicans in Central PA don't deserve a free pass, and that they CAN be beaten, just like Jon Tester and Jim Webb won their unexpected (by some) victories in 2006? Click here to e-mail me. We are not alone :-)
