State Treasurer to resign

[GeneCC]

Pennsylvania State Treasurer Rob McCord will plead guilty to federal charges that he used his office to strong-arm political contributors during his failed gubernatorial bid last year, his lawyers said Friday.

McCord, in a video statement, apologized for what he called a mistake, saying he "stepped over the line" in dealing with two potential donors in spring 2014.

"I essentially said the potential contributors should not risk making an enemy of the state treasurer," he said. "Clearly, that was wrong. I was wrong. It was a mistake. I stand ready to pay the price for that mistake."

Gov. Wolf called the news "a sad day for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for Rob McCord's family."

The governor added: "This type of behavior leads to the erosion of the public's trust - it is simply unacceptable. I stand firm in my commitment to restore the public's trust in their government."

He can prove it by asking for Attorney General Kane's resignation.

Talk or walk, Governor Wolf.

So they gave the ass money for influence and got strong armed for more cash. Seems they should have learned to never give the bully your lunch money in grade school.
