HARRISBURG, Pa. AP – A former House speaker, an ex-lawmaker and eight aides Thursday became the latest – and the first Republicans – to be charged in a 3-year-old investigation into the diversion of public resources and employees to Pennsylvania legislative campaigns.
Attorney General Tom Corbett said individuals within the House GOP caucus spent millions of taxpayer dollars on computer technology to gain an upper hand in campaigns, and that investigators can prove that some high-ranking officials and their employees tried to cover up their part.
