This was testimony by the payroll representative at the prelim trial. Wake Up Pennsylvania!! Who stands to gain if Jane Orie is out of office? It will not be the common citizen. Maybe the casino board and gaming commission have about $50 million reasons to strike down the one true representative for common taxpayer. For those who want to bash her for sending out thank you notes and using a printer....suit yourself!truthmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918285170135560818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-2759544378091279492010-07-25T17:57:19.662-04:002010-07-25T17:57:19.662-04:00Hmmm...Turzai was against the Hillman-Roderick pla...Hmmm...Turzai was against the Hillman-Roderick plan. And the plan that was finally implemented was essentially...wait for it...the Hillman-Roderick plan. Turzai demagogues issues and takes care of his contributors and throws around his WAM money just like all the politicians we dislike. You just keep falling for his rhetoric.Blue Number 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14409428988649440272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-12371302590259828472010-07-23T18:26:18.764-04:002010-07-23T18:26:18.764-04:00Remember Turzai and Orie were two of the leading f...Remember Turzai and Orie were two of the leading forces in making sure that the City of Pgh had two oversight bodies.

This isn't about being public servants to them regardless of what they say. It's about power and position and money to them. So, so many of them succumb to this temptation.<br /><br />The public should stop being shocked and fooled when these people are exposed. Charlie Rangel is another example. From the same area in the North Hills, Mike Turzai. He presents a public image of fighting for the people but his whole career (and it is his CAREER) has been about rising up thru the ranks to a leadership position. Same for the Ories. Same for Veon.<br /><br />And this has nothing to do with party affiliation.<br /><br />I gotta tell you, I was never in favor of term limits before. Now I think they are essential to an attempt at good government.Blue Number 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14409428988649440272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-76467481063488646652010-07-23T09:42:32.361-04:002010-07-23T09:42:32.361-04:00Let's just call this whole Orie thing what it ...Let's just call this whole Orie thing what it is: Political retribution for Mike Veon. If the facts come out as reported in the news though, it's apples and oranges. Both wrong. But Veon... almost 2 mil in bonus on the tax payers...
