Before claiming Republican status, THE CENTRIST claims citizenship status. On the basis of that status, we wish to report the Pigs are at the trough – still. Really. Gorging themselves.
John Perzel is a moron if he thinks he can continue to get away with these shenanigans, and he pulled another one last night. Friend Russ Diamond over at Operation Clean Sweep was watching things. Here’s Russ's report:
If you were watching the END of the House session tonight at 12:20, you saw Perzel gavel to a close the special session, and then immediately gavel to order the 'new day' of the Regular Session.
During that Regular session, the only thing that occurred was that Sam Smith and Perzel wished the members a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.
In case you missed what actually happened there (or the reason for what happened there), by gaveling the new day's Regular Session to order, the members were able to collect an additional per diem for the one minute it took to be wished happy holidays. I guess that was Perzel's Christmas gift to them.
Just who are these pigs? John Perzel is the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Sam Smith is the Majority Leader in the same chamber. Both are Republicans. Both bring shame not only on the Republican Party here in Pennsylvania, but they continue to daily make a mockery of our General Assembly. Oh, yes, indeed they have plenty of help from across the aisle, and from the Governor’s office, as well as from our courts (see below). But these two are in the majority party, and control the activities in the House. This is simply another example of the graft and corruption that goes on DAILY! These “public servants” (more like public boar hogs), are so filled with hubris that they think they are exempt from being thrown out of office just as the “innocent” Justice J. Russell Nigro last November.
Bulletin for the Speaker of the House: Sharpen up that resume, bubby! Come the end of your current term, you are history! Same for Sam Smith. History, boys! Toast! Stick a fork in them, they are done!
THE CENTRIST is checking to see if this move violated any laws, so we can have these bozos indicted and removed from office before they can do any more damage. At the very least the floor should recall them from their leadership positions, and bar them from serving in a committee or caucus leadership slot, or on any committees. The same should be applied to Bill DeWeese, Vince Fumo, Bob Jubelirer, Bob Mellow, Mike O’Pake, David Brightbill, and Jeff Piccola. They should be stripped of every ounce of responsibility and perquisites of office and allowed to serve only their own constituencies until they leave office. Frankly, they should all resign in shame, but they are incapable of that emotion. And Jeff Piccola better not come sniffing around these parts looking for an endorsement for his run for the Governor’s mansion!
This crew stinks to high heaven! They are about as arrogant as politicians come.
Is THE CENTRIST incensed? You bet! And not just at these pigs!
Add to the list the seven more judges who have stupidly, arrogantly and unethically joined the first two porcine magistrates who filed suit in the State Supreme Court to have the pay raise repeal overturned. Now, this is the same State Supreme Court who advised the legislators to pass the Midnight Raise last July, that got one of their buddies deposed from the bench because the legislative hogs were too stupid and greedy to say ‘no’. Will this suit get a fair and ethical and impartial hearing in this court? Not on your life!
Finally, we come to THE CENTRIST’s own representative. The “Honorable” Steve Maitland has consistently refused to acknowledge the wrongness of the pay raise. He voted for the raise. He took the early money (unvouchered expense). He refuses to pay it back. He claims it is being used to pay his tuition at law school so he can better represent his constituents.
No one in state service is entitled to free tuition. No one in state service is entitled to keep money wrongly given, accepted and that does not rightfully belong to them. That raise was repealed.
If this is how Steve Maitland “respects” his constituency, then perhaps it is time for him to sharpen his resume, too.
THE CENTRIST wants the General Assembly, on their return to work from the holiday break, to come together in another Committee of the Whole, and hammer out a piece of legislation that requires the clerk of the House, and the Clerk of the Senate to deduct the full amount of any outstanding (unrepaid unvouchered expenses) from the paycheck of every member still owing, an amount equal to the entire outstanding balance, or the full net pay of the member, whichever figure is lower, until that balance is repaid. No pay until every single red cent is repaid. If they can’t find it in themselves to do the right thing we’ll do it for them – the hard way.
Contact your representative and get them to sign on to this concept!
What your elected leaders, such as Representative Maitland, have been doing is thumbing their noses at you. They do not fear you, nor do they respect you. Their greed and hubris makes them unfit for public service.
Operation Clean Sweep is in full operation. It has not gone away, nor has it stopped operating just because Russell Nigro’s career as a Supreme Court justice was forced to a premature ending. Operation Clean Sweep’s next target is the spring primaries. Candidates will be entered to run against the incumbents. If successful, good! If not, then the non-incumbents will get the endorsements in the fall election.
Fellow citizens, this is your chance to send a message in the strongest terms possible. These folks are simply not fit to run their own bathrooms let alone the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sweep ‘em all out of office, and let God sort them out!
