Craig forwarded word of this to me, proving once again, the golden age of corrupt Pennsylvania politicians is not dead. (another article)

I'm still trying to determine the best part of this:
The sudden appearance of his properties on the tax-exempt list.
The putting his COUNTY SUPPLIED cell phone number on a sex site.
The state basically saying "don't impede our investigation by actually calling him on this"
The quote from the local newspaper editor.
The quote from longtime resident Dewey Lutz.
The quote from Commissioner Steve Craig.
The quote from his wife, which basically sums it up.
The fact that he's not really showing up to work much anymore, since he fled to Ohio.
The "How we tally dog licenses" defense.
The "Everything that's been reported is more complicated than it's been made out to be" defense.
The fact that there's an actual act on the books covering this for just a few counties, called the Venango Act, which doesn't include Venango County. (Okay, that's only for me, maybe Joe, but pretty much just me.)
The fact that the Venango Act covers Washington County.

Simply awesome.
