Corbett cabinet capers continue

We are beginning to wonder whether some high-ranking members of Gov. Corbett's administration (and in one case, those related to them) need a course in civility.

Our latest episode involves a deputy secretary in the Department of Public Welfare who hurled nasty invectives at an elderly woman who had parked in his primo state parking space.

Philip Abromats, who is in charge of administering the state's food stamps and temporary cash assistance programs, got into a 20-minute shouting match last month with a woman who had parked her car in his space.

Rev. Norma Kenley-Barber told the Patriot-News of Harrisburg she had parked in the space on July 20 because of its proximity to the entrance in order to use the bathroom.

MUCH MUCH more at the link...riotous - it's Amateur Night -

of the venality. People whose self-image depends upon a parking space. Shoplifting, throwing your weight around at a diner. It's all so damned small. It doesn't take much to corrupt a public servant in PA.

and of course they are catering to her because of her husband. Can you say "double standard"???? Try drunk driving and see if you get a personal state trooper to come to your rescue.

And I don't even understand that she "will not qualify for a counseling program"----what is that about? Is she trying to get it paid for by the state? Why not pony up all the money herself, since it seems that she has saved tons of money on shopping sprees.
