So let me get this straight. Because the slot parlors in Pennsylvania are raking in the money, it's OK for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to violate the governor's ban on travel outside the state.
Typical liberal logic for you.
An investigation by a Pittsburgh television station revealed that state employees were staying in luxury hotels and getting more than $300 a day for meals.
In one case, a gaming board official traveled to a conference in Las Vegas after announcing his resignation. In another case, five top Gaming Control Board officials flew to Rome, Italy, for an international gaming conference and stayed at a luxurious hotel costing $434 per night, says WTAE-TV 4.
Check out the full report at the station's Web site.
Rendell imposed a ban on out-of-state travel as a cost-cutting measure last fall when it became clear the state was headed for a budget deficit.
The projected deficit is now $2.3 billion.
Read Rendell's full statement, saying it's OK for some to ignore the ban, at the link below:

It's obvious Rendell isn't serious about the massive budget deficit he created. He's planning to leave the mess for the next governor to clean up.
