Press Only Gets to Know What Corbett is Doing When He is in South America

Corbett is leading a 10 day foreign trade trip in South America. His detailed schedule is being provided to the press, including lists of which persons he is meeting with. That never happens when he is in PA.
Excerpt:
"The Guv even held a 40-minute conference call with state reporters Tuesday to talk about the trip. Must be that warmer climes agree with His Excellency because this is in stark contrast to Corbett's behavior at home.
Not only is he rarely available to press covering the state house but his daily schedule is usually so secret that it's part of pending right-to-know litigation involving the governor's office and the Associated Press.
And an aggressive full-day schedule abroad can maybe blunt criticism that he ought to be home working the levers of government and politics on pension reform, transportation funding, his lottery effort and liquor privatization -- at a time all are taking shape (or falling apart) in Harrisburg."
