Scissorhands Severson' Preliminary Hearing Scheduled

Tom "Scissorhands" Severson, political consultant to the Joe Long Dems, is being prosecuted by the Pennsylvania Attorney General for deceptive campaign practices that extend from anonymous mailers to invoices designed to disguise his involvement on behalf of different candidates.

Severson's preliminary hearing has been scheduled for July 13. But instead of being around here, it's in Harrisburg before Dauphin County Magistrate Marsha Stewart. A flurry of subpoenas has spread among Commonwealth witnesses. The burden of proof at a preliminary hearing is very low, but it's a good opportunity to see and hear some of the witnesses.

Sounds like a road trip for me.

    I've heard through the grapevine that the LongDems are going to endorse Kelleher in Nov.

    Since you are gainfully unemployed and live off the County, I take it you will be covering the hearing.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
