Pre-Trial hearings begin today for two former State House Members and ten legislative staffers charged with involvement in paying taxpayer funded bonuses to staff members who conducted political campaign work on state time with state resources. A bunch of subpoenas were delivered in the Capitol last week ordering as many as 100 to appear at the hearings in which former State House Democratic Whip Mike Veon attempts to make the case that "everybody" was engaged in this practice and not just him. Veon accuses State Attorney General Tom Corbett of "selective prosecution" Attorneys for the House Democratic and Republican caucuses filed documents to kill subpoenas issued to lawmakers Lawyers characterized the subpoenas as a desperate attempt by Veon and the other defendants to intimidate lawmakers and make a circus out of the proceedings. It seems to me that more people may be shown to have had their finger in the pie For BREAKING NEWS follow me on TWITTER
