| Bryan Cutler responds to Attorney General's announcement 12 indicted in "Bonusgate" scandal, Corbett says "more to come" |
Bryan Cutler candidate for re-election to the 100th Legislative District, State House of Representatives, has issued the following statement in response to Attorney General Tom Corbett's announcement that indictments have been filed against 1 current State Representative, 1 former State Representative and 10 legislative staffers in relation to the "Bonusgate" scandal. Along with questionable bonus', it has been alleged that campaign activities were being conducted from legislative offices. Representative Bryan Cutler's statement: "As many people know I ran my campaign on open government, access to information, integrity, and accountability. In keeping with this promise I have from the beginning posted my legislative expenses online and in the office, offered amendments for expansion of the open records law to include the expenditure of every public dollar, and the names of everyone executing contracts with the Commonwealth. In light of the recent revelations I believe it is even more important than ever to initiate these kinds of accountability measures. The charges discussed today, if true, are the worst kind of abuse of the public trust and money. I also believe that the judicial process and the investigation must run its course to restore integrity. I have always understood the importance of separating the legislative activity from political work. I have always forbidden anyone in my office to work or volunteer on my campaign. I have implemented these personal rules out of respect for the law, residents, and the trust they have placed in me." # # # # # # # |
