‘How big a crook am I?’

Corbett is such a outright thief, liar and scumbag.

How is it that Gov. Corbett and one of his cabinet members overlooked a wee detail – their newly purchased vacation homes – in their financial interest statement filings? Corbett failed to report the 2012 purchase of a $265,000 Hilton Head condo in the annual filing under the governor’s Code of Conduct, according to StateImpact Pennsylvania, a public radio investigative unit focusing on energy and the environment. Michael Krancer, who was until March the secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection, also failed to report the Vermont ski area property he purchased for $1 million last year. The news didn’t sit well with government reform advocates.

“It kind of defies one’s credibility, that ‘whoops I forgot a $265k or million dollar asset,'” said Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania. “We talking about the ethics law here which helps the public understand intregrity of public officials. If they treat it with a cavalier attitude then the message to the public is laws don’t matter.”

Well, duh. Laws don’t matter, except to the people vulnerable enough to be charged in the first place.
