Corbett "Forgets" to Disclose His Vacation Home in Hilton Head, while he is promoting PA. Tourism

[JPZenger]

So One Term Tommy has been spending the week promoting tourism in PA. He says that he wants people from other states to spend their tourism dollars in PA, as well as having PA. residents spend their vacations inside PA.

By sheer coincidence, this week it was discovered that Corbett had bought a vacation home last year at a Hilton Head SC beach-front resort, which he did not disclose on his financial disclosure forms.

Excerpts:

"When questioned about the omission, the governor’s office initially told StateImpact Pennsylvania the Corbetts were still closing on the house through the end of the calendar year and thus didn’t need to report it.

However, Corbett spokeswoman Kelli Roberts later said it was a misunderstanding about the language on the form, which allows someone to exclude his or her “home or principal residence.”

Last year Corbett was six months late in disclosing a yacht vacation he received from a friend and campaign donor. A spokesman blamed the omission on a clerical error."

3. Tom Corbett never gets the love he deserves.

He could be the poster-boy for what the GOP wants for all of us.

11. YEP

part of the beauty of being with the GOP.

You get to scream loud and hard about everyone else needing to have personal responsibility while never having to do so yourself.

5. Worst governor Pennslvania's had in its 226 year history(became state on 12/12/1787)

And the damage he will leave behind when voted out of office - to our educational system from pre-school through state universities, to our crumbling roads & bridges, to our state parks and gamelands, to our decimated public health programs, to our fracking contaminated water, land and air - it will endure long beyond when he has been called to his just rewards. The only debate about Tommy's eternal rewards are whether it will be the 8th or 9th circle of hell.

Of course, he'll scuttle off to Hilton Head when he's booted out of office - no fracking there.

6. It's called "Having a Mitt Romney moment"

just substitute automobile elevator for Hilton Head

7. "Just close your eyes" and you're there

It Shitsville PA. I wouldn't go there for FREE!

8. He should be forced to retire downhill from a leaky fracking waste impoundment

Or, maybe he can retire to a nice house with a well in Dimock, PA

12. Damned clerks.

All those "clerical errors".....I guess that dumping on people who are far beneath you and paid shit is an easy way to explain away your lies. Every time I see this, I think of all the early jobs I have had....clerical jobs.

Asshole.

13. Gov. Corporate........

is doing his best to make sure that he will be in an environmentally safe place (paid for by the "frackers" that he gave Pennsylvania to for free) when another "clerical error" shows that he screwed over the state - BIG TIME!!!!!!!!

What a rotten, shit-faced son-of-a-bitch weasel he is.

15. And the hits just keep on coming.

Foks CANNOT sit out the 2014 election.

16. Look, Governor--you could have got away with the Jersey Shore, but Hilton Head? No. nt

[CanonRay]

17. Yeah, those disclosure forms are really complicated

it probably said something like "list all real property owned". How can you expect a governor with a paid staff to understand that?
