This story keeps getting worse and worse. The article also talks about a great deal of confusion about what the Acting Education Secretary has actually provided and not provided in her defense of Tomalis.

"State records show Corbett had no scheduled meetings with Tomalis, who was paid $139,000 a year. The Tribune-Review obtained copies of the governor's calendar showing no meetings from May 15, 2013 — the date Tomalis became his adviser after almost 2½ years as Education secretary — through mid-July.

... Sen. Folmer cited 700 emails in the department's possession. He said he thought they were Tomalis' emails. But when questioned, Folmer could not say what time period the emails covered and whether all of them date to Tomalis' appointment as a cabinet secretary in 2011.

A discrepancy exists over the emails. Eller said they are Dumaresq's emails. Folmer said he's irritated the department “isn't being transparent.”

By keeping Tomalis on the payroll for over a year after he was removed as Sec. of Ed, it also allowed Tomalis to increase his state pension by 25%. It is the gift that will keep on costing us.

1. Corbett campaign keeps buying ads on DU

I love how the Corbett campaign is wasting their money on ineffective ads. There are even spending money for attack ads on DU.
