It looks like Tom Corbett is just as corrupt as those of us here in the PA forum always thought he was.

1. Maybe the fools on KDKA radio will start asking questions!

I heard Pintek berate a teacher who called in the other day. She was questioning Corbett's role in the whole scandal and he accused her of "going after the Governor because of his stance on teacher unions". Pintek also supported Corbett saying that Corbett is the one who "got the ball rolling" on the investigation.

2. "Pinhead" needs to realize that Corbett seems to have stonewalled the investigation,

rather than "getting the ball rolling".

Teachers seem to be some of the favorite targets of the hate radio crowd.

3. Guess what - a couple years of records of the foundation are missing

4. So, Corbett apparently gave them enough time to destroy evidence.

Amazing...and appalling.

5. Yep...here you go:

"Meanwhile, investigators served numerous subpoenas on the Second Mile, according to people with knowledge of the inquiry. Not only did they want the names of children who had been through the program, they also demanded all of Sandusky’s travel and expense records."

"Much of the older paperwork was stored at an off-site records facility. The travel and expense records, for instance, had been sent over several years earlier. But select members of the charity’s board of directors were alarmed to learn recently that when the records facility went to retrieve them, some of those records — from about 2000 to 2003 — were missing."

"The attorney general’s office was notified of the missing files, people with knowledge of the case said. Subsequently, the foundation located apparently misfiled records from one of the years, but the rest seem to have disappeared."
