That was Attorney General Tom Corbett’s (R) response Monday when asked about Governor Ed Rendell’s (D) complaint that “Bonusgate” has, thus far at least, yielded charges against only Democrats.
“I don’t understand why after two years you only could make your decision on Democrats,” Rendell said in early August. “If there was chicanery by all of the caucuses, (the voters) have the right to know that before the election.”
But the attorney general’s office started investigating allegations of illegal bonuses in February of 2007, Corbett said, noting that only 18 months had passed since then.
“His math was off,” Corbett told PolitickerPA.com as took a quick break from a fundraiser at the Dauphin County Bar Association in downtown Harrisburg. Corbett was there to raise money for his campaign against Democrat John Morganelli, who he faces this fall in an election most have pegged as competitive.
