Did Corbett Delay Sandusky Arrest Because Second Mile Included so Many Corbett Donors????

People have also been asking questions about where all the money went that was contributed to the Second Mile "charity." In addition, people are asking about real estate investments that involved Penn State Trustees and Joe Paterno as business partners.

Here's excerpts from the above link:

"the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports this morning that Jerry Sandusky's Second Mile non-profit charity spent 73 percent of its total revenue for the year ending in 2010 for salaries and benefits to employees, including the husband-wife team who earned the top two salaries.

This follows Schmitz's earlier report that a large chunk of the $3 million grant Corbett awarded to the Second Mile in 2010 was headed straight for the pocket of the charity's long-time chairman and Corbett campaign contributor, Robert Poole...

This seems to be one more reason Corbett delayed his investigation into Sandusky in 2009 and 2010. Not only did he want to avoid blowing apart the vaunted Penn State football program before the 2010 elections, but neither did Corbett want to create major problems for campaign donors associated with Second Mile.

This morning the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeremy Roebuck goes into great depth on the convoluted ties between the Second Mile and Penn State. Unfortunately, he doesn't take the next step linking those ties to Corbett via campaign donations as the sports blog Deadspin did earlier this month...

While Attorney General and a candidate for Governor, it sure looks like Corbett wanted to delay investigating Sandusky so he wouldn't have to make such a call until after the election."

By the way, you may remember that blogger from a couple years ago. As Attorney General, Corbett convened a grand jury to try to get top-secret subpeonas issued to find out his identity.

1. Second Mile Board Was Full of Corbett Donors

http://deadspin.com/5860034/past-and-present-board-members-of-sanduskys-charity-and-their-businesses-or-families-gave-64148121-to-gov-tom-corbett

Excerpt of the link:

"Past And Present Board Members Of Sandusky’s Charity And Their Businesses Or Families Gave $641,481.21 To Gov. Tom Corbett

Earlier today, we reported that some two dozen current and former board members at The Second Mile had given money to Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's 2010 campaign. The board members donated a combined $201,783.64, to be exact. But direct contributions are hardly the end of it. Big donors can also encourage family members or employees to send cash to a politician.

Take Bill Greenlee, who served on The Second Mile board until 2004. Greenlee died last year and never gave money directly to Corbett. But he founded Greenlee Associates (now called Greenlee Partners), one of the top lobbying firms in Pennsylvania. And Greenlee Partners donated $36,535.19 to Corbett's 2010 gubernatorial campaign, with another $1,000 coming from Vanessa Getz, one of the firm's top employees. In 2007 and 2008, Greenlee Partners gave $2,000 to Corbett, when the then-attorney general was running for reelection. The firm also gave money to Corbett when ran for attorney general in 2004—his first campaign—and in the subsequent year. From 2003-2005, the firm donated $13,295.02 to Corbett"

2. Excellent quote here:

"Maybe Corbett is right when he says Veon's decisions to spend of millions of BIG's funding on salaries and contracts rose to the level of criminality. As the official entrusted with oversight of non-profits, Attorney General Corbett was in a position to determine such criminality."

"If so, we expect to see him call for the arrest of Robert Poole and other campaign contributors on Second Mile's board who personally approved spending 73 percent of the funds on salaries and benefits, and directing state funds into their own pockets over the past several years, including a $3 million dollar grant Corbett personally approved."

We already know what a hypocrite Corbett is, so it's quite unlikely we'll hear calls for Poole's arrest.

4. Pedophile owns company with multi-million $$ contracts w/ Corbett administration.

www.yardbird.com

November 16, 2011 -- District Attorney Tom Kearney, of York County, PA, has asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate longstanding allegations that Corbett Administration security provider Russell Wantz, Jr. has ongoing close ties to a prostitution and pedophile ring centered in and around the York County courthouse.

Sex offender Wantz, of York County, was arrested in a Craigslist sting in December 2007, by Swatara Township police. In 2009, Wantz was granted an ARD by Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico. At the time Marsico refused to investigate Wantz further.

Wantz is the owner of the Schaad Detective Agency of York. Schaad holds multi-million dollar security contracts with the administration of Gov. Tom Corbett. Schaad guards sensitive state complexes such as the PennDot headquarters in Harrisburg.

5. Doesn't it seem strange that we're not hearing more about this from the local media?

Oh, that's right...the Post Gazette endorsed Tom Corbett!

Something stinks to high heaven in Pennsylvania...and it's a shame that children have been the ones to suffer.

6. Get ready for more public school cutbacks

While no one was looking, Corbett and the Republican legislature passed a law that made it much harder for school districts to increase taxes by more than about 2% per year. They used to be able to have larger rises for debt service, increase in special education costs, increase in pension and health care costs, etc. Those costs continue to rise faster than inflation, which means the only way out is more layoffs. The Phila. school district is eliminating another 300 employees (including about 60 school nurses) on top of the 3000 positions they eliminated earlier this school year.

8. County DA Asks FBI to investigate pedophile sex ring involve Corbett's security contractor

http://www.yardbird.com/DA_seeks_FBI_probe_of_Corbett_security_contractor.htm

You just can't make this stuff up. From last month. The York County District Attorney has asked the FBI to conduct an investigation of an alleged coverup of a pedophile sex ring. A key person allegedly involved is the head of a company that the Corbett Administration uses to provide security in public buildings.

If you did into that website, it describes a long series of alleged situations in which Tom Corbett refused to investigate alleged wrong-doing in York County.
