His salary, correct me if somehow I am wrong, is paid by the taxpayers. It is his choice to coach for a PUBLIC University. I do not have a choice to pay taxes (without severe penalty under the law). If I am going to be compelled under the law to fund certain institutions, I want and deserve to know how that money is appropriately (or inappropriately) allocated. If Joe doesn’t want his salary known he can go coach for Notre Dame. McGinley was spot on with his ruling.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767626171298484134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-49177338226204971032007-10-16T10:04:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:04:00.000-04:00AJ, I don't believe his salary, or the salary of o...AJ, I don't believe his salary, or the salary of other PSU officials, has been made public. Oral argument was a few months ago before the state supreme court, so a decision is probably working its way thru the pipeline. <BR/><BR/>McGinley seems like a decent guy, and I joke he should not decide sports cases. I do think he was way off on that baseball decision. <BR/><BR/>If you want to read more of huis opinions, go <A HREF="http://www.aopc.org/opposting/index/Cwealthsearch.asp" REL="nofollow">here</A>, choose "author", type in McGinley and click search.

After so many years with one company, or school in this case, a higher salary than others should be expected. Joe doesn't seem too politically involved overall and is mainly concerned about his football team, so I can see why he's upset. But both arguments in this case are resonable.<BR/><BR/>McGinley doesn't seem like a terrible judge. Although, I'm not too sure about that ruling in favor of the Chase's complaint. <BR/><BR/>The Borough tried to work with the Chases. How couldn't they have known, after living in that house for several years, that baseballs wouldn't have been hit into their yard if they cut down the "natural barrier?" Duh!<BR/><BR/>I'd like some more information on this judge and maybe some other rulings worthy of some notice.

Anon 5:23, You did not...It's election season again. Anon 5:23, You did not answer my argument. If voters reject all 67 judges up for retention, as you suggest, you just give Rendell the opportunity to make 67 political appointments. That's no way to restore the middle class. Incidentally, it's "you're against us", not "your against us." Like I said, it's hard to take you seriously when you use such lousy grammar.
