Kane Joins Fed Ed in Using Campaign Funds to Pay Lawyers
Yesterday, I told you that Allentown mayor Edwin "Fed Ed" Pawlowski has used $80k in campaign funds to pay criminal defense lawu=yers representing him in a federal investigation into political corruption in Allentown. He's not alone. The Pittsburgh Tribune reports that AG Kathleen Kane has spent $310,000 in campaign funds to pay lawyers and PR firms representing her in connection with perjury charges filed against her.

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.
A 100K here, a 100K there......it starts to add up.
ReplyDeleteCampaign Contributions = Legal Defense Fund ?
ReplyDeleteOnly when laws are written by lawyers.
It's free $$$.
ReplyDeleteWhy not?
Let the (alleged) crooks spend every dime of their dopey contributors' money. It's perfectly fitting.
