In wake of scandal,power struggle spread from Penn State campus to state capital,Corbett(R)is a rat!
While the current Sandusky investigation was in its second year, Corbett spent much of his time focusing on the sweeping public corruption inquiry of Democrats and Republicans in Harrisburg nicknamed "Bonusgate." He also crisscrossed Pennsylvania campaigning for governor, pledging to cut runaway spending and "restore trust in Harrisburg." State campaign records show he accepted contributions of nearly $650,000 from current and past board members of Second Mile and their businesses.
Corbett's opponent was Dan Onorato, a former Allegheny County chief executive and a Penn State alumnus who spent several days campaigning on the Penn State campus. Corbett spent time in State College, too. He had tried to get Paterno, a staunch Republican, to endorse him, but Paterno declined; the coach had a policy against endorsing gubernatorial candidates because the election winner, as Pennsylvania governor, would get a seat on Penn State's board of trustees.
