PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

In an article titled “FBI: No evidence Fumo consultants did any work”, the Inquirer reported:

“An FBI agent testified yesterday in former State Sen. Vincent J. Fumo’s corruption trial that the state Senate was unable to turn up a single example of work done by three consultants paid a total of $637,000 by taxpayers at Fumo’s command.

“The agent, Vicki Humphreys, said federal investigators subpoenaed records for consultants Michael Palermo and Mitchell Rubin, two longtime friends of Fumo’s, and for a younger consultant, Philip Press, and found no evidence that they had produced any written work.”

WATCHDOG: Is this an omen of things to come for Lancaster? Sounds like the bi-weekly investigative series by Jim Sneddon on the Convention Center Authority that NewsLanc will continue to publish bi-weekly over the next few months.
