You go, Eugene!

Last year when we elected Eugene DePasquale to the State House we knew we were sending him to a place with a history of financial self-dealing. Pennsylvania residents were ticked off that our state representation chose to circumvent the intent of the law and take advances on the pay raises they voted for themselves. Some of the folks we drummed out of office in the November elections took their last swipes at our wallets by taking tens of thousands of dollars in "expenses" on their way home.

Well, Eugene has provided an itemized list of his expenses right out of the gate - what a concept! At last somebody understands the accountability we want to see from the legislators who work for us. None of this tiptoeing out the door with a check in hand. Full accountability. Way to be a role model, Eugene!
