  • Kane's Reign Ends Today
    Steve Esack and Peter Hall Of The Morning Call 8/17/16 Kane's reign ends today HARRISBURG — Kathleen Kane charged into state government 1,381 days ago as a reformer unbound by the political establishment she railed against in her successful campaign to become the state's first woman elected attorney general. On Wednesday, she slinks away, leaving behind her once bright political future and a resignation letter after abusing the power voters entrusted in her as the state's top law enforcement officer. "I have been honored to serve the people of Pennsylvania and I wish them health and safety in all their days," Kane said Tuesday in a two-sentence resignation. The announcement came a day after a jury of six men and six women convicted her on two felony counts of perjury and seven lesser charges of lying and abusing her power about a grand jury secrets leak she orchestrated to embarrass a rival. It also came after Montgomery County Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy set an Oct. 24 sentencing date for the Scranton-area Democrat. The state constitution says public officials must resign after being convicted of a crime, but state court rulings have pushed resignations back until sentencing. Kane negated that with her decision to quit after months of refusing to heed such advice from politicians. Kane lawyers vow appeal, but offer few details In a statement, Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, said Kane is making the right call. "What has transpired with Attorney General Kane is unfortunate," Wolf said. "Her decision to resign is the right one, and will allow the people of Pennsylvania to finally move on." The Commonwealth Attorneys Act states that the first deputy slides into the attorney general's post if the elected or appointed official resigns or becomes incapacitated.

  • The Indictment of Longtime Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed: What Comes Next?
    The Indictment of Longtime Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed: What Comes Next? Who is the accused? Stephen Reed, the Democratic mayor of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from 1982 to 2010, has been charged by state prosecutors with 499 counts ranging from bribery to theft by receiving stolen property. What do state prosecutors allege? The allegations include claims that Reed used his position to arrange the sale of bonds by several agencies within the city. To secure approval of the bond sales, he allegedly diverted city funds to a slush fund for city council members. Bond proceeds went to various pet projects including the purchase of various antiquities, such as Civil War memorabilia and artifacts from the American West that he planned to display in new city museums. Reed stored those artifacts in his own home, among other private facilities, and misled investigators about the existence and extent of these collections. Why does this case matter? Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane called Reed’s alleged wrongdoing “the root of the fiscal issues that continue to plague the city of Harrisburg.” Under Reed’s watch, the city of merely 50,000 inhabitants—of whom nearly a third live in poverty—accrued over $450 million dollars in debt. More than half of this debt went to a white-elephant project to retrofit a trash incinerator. In 2011, the state government placed the city in receivership. In 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Harrisburg with securities fraud for misrepresenting its poor financial health under Reed—the first time a U.S. city has faced such charges.

  • A 2017 Wish List for Lawyers and Judges
    NOT FOR REPRINT Click to Print or Select 'Print' in your browser menu to print this document. Page printed from: The Legal Intelligencer A 2017 Wish List for Lawyers and Judges Peter F. Vaira, The Legal Intelligencer January 13, 2017 That the new Pennsylvania attorney general, Josh Shapiro, does not place all the blame for the dysfunctional office he inherited on former Attorney General Kathleen Kane. She was in over her head, which caused her to make a lot of mistakes; however, many of the problems that occurred during her administration were the result of her predecessors and many of the staff members she inherited. This includes the group of prosecutors who made a continuing practice of sending pornographic photos and racial/ethnic jokes to judges they appeared before. • That Attorney General Josh Shapiro releases the names of the prosecutors who sent and the trial judges and supervising grand jury judges who received ex parte emails from them in the porngate scandal. The defense counsel in those cases are entitled to know that there was a less-than-arms-length relationship between the grand jury and trial judges and the prosecutors. Such communications indicate a compromise of the judiciary by the executive branch. The decision made by his interim predecessor, Bruce Beemer, to decline to release the names of the judges and prosecutors should not be a binding precedent. Shapiro should not be bound by a major policy decision made by a five-month temporary attorney general, which will saddle him with problems in criminal cases and his relationship with the courts for years.

  • 2007-2008, Covering the Period July 1, 2007 Through June 30, 2008
    Message from the President Dear Friends, There was much to celebrate during this past year at Marywood University. From a personal perspective, it was a transformative experience to serve my inaugural year as Marywood’s 11th president. However, I do not and could not do this alone. While this special year has provided an exciting backdrop, the meaningful role that each of you plays in shaping the future of this University is the underpinning of what continues to inspire and create our outstanding progress. In keeping with the spirit of progress, we decided this year to produce a “green” President’s Report— a solely online piece—to reduce our use of paper products and take another positive step in our ongoing efforts to cultivate and practice environmental stewardship. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, “institutions of higher education are poised to play a leading role in developing and executing climate-neutral policies.” (“A Green Curriculum Involves Everyone on the Campus,” by John Peterson, June 20, 2008 issue) Marywood University continues to evaluate its current practices and engage in future initiatives with environmental considerations in mind—for the benefit of our students, our campus, our community, and our world. This report represents the fiscal year 2007-2008, covering the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. Please accept my deepest appreciation for all you have done to advance the goals, initiatives, and mission of Marywood University. I am enthusiastic about the progress we have made, as well as the momentum we continue to generate, and I look to our future with great optimism and abundant hope.

  • PA Voters Split Tickets, Give Wins to Trump, Toomey, Shapiro
    PA voters split tickets, give wins to Trump, Toomey, Shapiro, DePasquale and Torsella Plus big wins for Republicans in the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives November 9th – The big news out of Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning happened when the Associated Press, shortly after 1:30 a.m., declared that in a “stunning” turn of events Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had won Pennsylvania and its much coveted 20 electoral votes. Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes - along with Trump wins in other battleground states like Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin – were among the ways this unorthodox candidate and unlikely winner shocked the nation racking up the 270 plus electoral votes required to become the 45th President of the United States of America. Based on unofficial vote tallies, Trump bested Hillary Clinton by approximately 60,000 votes in Pennsylvania. 2,851,050 Pennsylvanians voted for Trump.1 Ultimately Trump won the support of fewer Pennsylvania voters then President Barack Obama did in 2012. In that year, 2,990,274 voters supported Obama.2 Clinton, however, outperformed Mitt Romney’s vote total in 2012 as she earned 2,788,242 votes on Tuesday. In 2012, Romney secured 2,680,434 votes. United States Senator Pat Toomey also earned 2.8 million votes Tuesday earning himself another 6-year term in the United States Senate. Still he did not outperform Trump (earning approximately 40,000 fewer votes than Trump). Toomey beat Democrat Katie McGinty earning 85,000 more votes than the former cabinet official for President Bill Clinton and former Governor Ed Rendell. McGinty also served as the chief of staff for Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf.
