PA Gov. Corbett Funded Sandusky Pet Project, Hid His Abuse
Edited on Thu Nov-17-11 03:34 PM by Ian David
There will never be anything more incomprehensible than a man creating a charity expressly to allow him to rape children, but the wide-ranging enabling of Jerry Sandusky to do just that is almost as impossible to fathom.

<snip>

As Sandusky continues to enjoy free, unsupervised release following charges of 40 crimes related to child rape, the level of complicity in his appalling who-knows-how-long rampage of pederasty now appears to, somehow, extend beyond Penn State and State College, Pennsylvania.

Last July, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett announced the “re-release” of a $3 million grant for the construction of what was essentially the pet project of Sandusky to “benefit” the children of The Second Mile charity he founded in State College in 1977.

On August 10, 2011, the CENTRE (PA) DAILY TIMES reported that thanks in part to Corbett’s grant and a subsequent rubber stamp from Centre County (PA) Commissioners - who actually sponsored the now-disgraced charity’s taxpayer cash grab - “The Second Mile Center for Excellence” building project was soon to be realized.

2. Happy Valley..
I grew up in a small town a good bit like that, on the surface all nice, apple pie and motherhood, underneath was a layer of slime, cronyism and corruption.

I'm starting to think it's all but inevitable.

6. From a similar experience, small towns are not that nice on the
surface either.

3. Was the governor a large donor or good friend? Maybe part of Sandusky's
inner circle of "buddies"?

5. Mr. Corbett has a history of protecting his Republican friends from prosecution.
