PA.'s Latest Secretary of Education of the Week Did Not Disclose Consulting Income

http://www.mcall.com/news/nationworld/pennsylvania/mc-pa-corbett-harner-0827-20130827,0,2940851.story

"Gov. Tom Corbett's latest nominee to head the state Education Department led the national search team that helped steer the Allentown School Board to choose Gerald Zahorchak as its superintendent in 2010.

But you won't find a reference to Carolyn Dumaresq's employment with the search company, McPherson & Jacobson of Omaha, Neb., on her annual financial disclosure statements with the state Ethics Commission.

Dumaresq failed to list the company as an outside source of income. It is not on the 2009 financial disclosure statement she filed as a member of the state Workforce Investment Board. Nor did she list it on her 2010 statement as an investment board member or a separate one she filed that same year when Corbett named her acting deputy education secretary when he took office."

I expect you will be reading much more about her time as Central Dauphin School District Superintendent, which was very controversial.

we are always wanting to see their tax returns. It is apparent that they do not take these disclosure statements seriously. But why should they----when they are busted, they just say "oops, my bad. That slipped my mind."
