7th Pa. Newspaper Calls on Embattled PA AG Kathleen Kane to Resign


Kathleen Kane's hometown newspaper is the latest - and by my count the seventh Pennsylvania newspaper - demanding Pennsylvania's embattled attorney general resign.

From the editorial page of the Wilkes-Barre Citizens Voice:
Kane ineptly has maneuvered herself into a dismal place where her only remaining defense is incompetence. And that place has a single viable exit — resignation.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, the Harrisburg Patriot News, the Express-Times of Easton and the Scranton Times-Tribune have all called on Kane to resign, citing a grand jury recommendation she be charged with perjury and a variety of scandals that have beset her tenure since the Democrat took office in January 2013.

That list includes the state's leading conservative newspaper (the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) and the state's biggest and most liberal newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer. The influential Harrisburg Patriot News and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, two very liberal newspapers that endorsed Kane in 2012, also want her to step down immediately.

Grand jury: PA AG Kathleen Kane orchestrated leak and cover-up

Study: Majority of Americans prefer gun rights over expanded gun control

Sorry left-wing gun-control advocates like Hillary Clinton. The majority of Americans believe strongly in the Second Amendment.

From a story in the Times-Leader newspaper in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., about gun ownership trends in the Keystone State:
State data showing rapidly increased gun sales indicate that Pennsylvanians, who have long had a tradition of sports firearms, are increasingly acquiring handguns, the type of weapon traditionally associated with self-protection. Handgun sales increased by 171 percent between 2001 and 2013, according to data from state police.

Total gun sales and transfers peaked in 2012 at 1,214,929, or about 10 per 100 people. In 2013, the number of sales and transfers in the state dropped to 808,507.

Statewide, concealed-carry permits increased by 166 percent in the same time period while sportsman’s firearms permits, which allow individuals 18 and older to carry a handgun for the purpose of hunting, fur taking, fishing or training hunting dogs in conjunction with the proper license but do not allow concealed carry, decreased by nearly 53 percent.

Bill O'Reilly: A President in Dream Land

The 10 Republicans who voted for Loretta Lynch

The US Senate voted 56–43 today to confirm Obama's radical nominee for attorney general, approving Loretta Lynch with help of the following 10 RINOs: Sens. Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

Every Democrat voted lockstep for Lynch's confirmation, which was expected, but she never would have been confirmed had the Republican majority not caved. I guess the 10 RINOs who supported Lynch forgot about last November's voter repudiation of Barack Obama and his failed policies,

Americans gave Republicans control of both houses of Congress to stop the Obama agenda, not to help him continue his assault on the Constitution.

Sen. Toomey to vote against Loretta Lynch confirmation

Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, a first-term Republican, has announced he will vote against the nomination of Loretta Lynch, President Obama's controversial pick for attorney general to replace the even more controversial Eric Holder.

The Senate is expected to vote on Lynch on Thursday.

During testimony before the Senate and in public comments, Lynch has displayed an unwillingness to show independence on most of Obama's controversial issues such as immigration, domestic spying, gun control and the need to investigate a variety of scandals that have plagued the Obama administration.

Just like Holder, Lynch will be an enabler of Obama's unconstitutional actions.

Pennsylvania's other US senator, Bob Casey Jr., a Democrat who rubber-stamps the Obama agenda, is expected to toe the party line and vote to confirm Lynch.

Toomey sent a fund-raising appeal out today that included the following message about Lynch:
"Tomorrow, I will vote to oppose Loretta Lynch's confirmation as Attorney General of the United States. Due to concerns about whether she would uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution in the face of President Obama's executive actions, she will not be receiving my support.
The United States Senate must not confirm Loretta Lynch as our next Attorney General."

Democratic Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane apparently never heard of the first law of holes: "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."

I especially like this comment in Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporter Brad Bumsted's latest article on Kane's swirling legal and ethical problems:

"As is often the case with elected officials that find themselves in legal trouble, Kane appears to have taken a bad situation and made it worse," said Christopher Borick, a political science professor at Muhlenberg College in Allentown.

Benefit concert in Reading, Pa., will raise money for 9/11 shrine

A Reading, Pa., church group is sponsoring a benefit concert to help rebuild the only house of worship destroyed by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.

A massive fundraising campaign is underway among Greek Orthodox churches and other organizations to raise the $38 million needed for the St. Nicholas National Shrine at Ground Zero.

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Lower Manhattan was demolished when taller buildings around it collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001. After more than a decade of wrangling with government agencies, church officials finally
received approval to rebuild what will now be known as the St. Nicholas National Shrine at Ground Zero, scheduled to open in 2016.

The women’s auxiliary of a Berks County church is doing its part to help raise money by sponsoring a concert featuring two well-known classical artists — pianist Maria Asteriadou and violinist Kurt Nikkanen. The husband-and-wife performers are internationally known musicians who are donating their time and talent to raise money for the project.

The concert is scheduled for Sunday, April 26, at 3 p.m. at the Miller Center for the Arts on the campus of Reading Area Community College, 4 N. Second St., Reading.

The benefit concert is sponsored by the St. Xenia Philoptochos Society, a women’s organization at Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Reading.

"Once rebuilt, it will function again as a Greek Orthodox church, but on a larger scale it will also serve as a national shrine, a welcoming haven for millions of people of all faiths who will visit the sacred site and pause for a moment of prayer or silent reflection," said Despina Denne, president of the St. Xenia Philoptochos Society and co-chairwoman of the benefit concert along with Ann Kraras and Sharon Whitman.

Greek-born pianist Asteriadou is an acclaimed soloist and chamber musician who has recorded extensively and has performed recitals all over the world. A graduate of the Julliard School and the Manhattan School of Music, Asteriadou is an associate professor of music at Kutztown University, where she also serves as director of the Chamber Music Outreach Program.

Violinist Nikkanen is a native of Hartford, Conn., and has been playing since the age of 3 and made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 12. A graduate of the Julliard School, Nikkanen is concertmaster with the New York City Ballet Orchestra and operates a private teaching studio in New York City. He has performed all over the world and recorded the work of many major composers, including Steven R. Gerber, who wrote a violin concerto specifically for Nikkanen.

Tickets for the benefit concert are $25 per person and $15 for students under 18. To order tickets, call 610-607-6270 or order online the Miller Center website at www.racc.edu/MillerCenter

A “Meet the Artists” reception will be held following the performance featuring hors d’oeuvres donated by local restaurants.

Free parking for the event is available at the garage at Front and Washington streets in Reading.

Third Pa. Newspaper Calls For Kathleen Kane's Resignation

The drumbeat continues for the resignation of controversial Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, a Democrat who has been embroiled in scandals almost from Day 1 of her administration.

From a Sunday editorial in the Easton Express-Times:
For the sake of the office -- which must remain above suspicion to function with any credibility -- Kane should step down, let someone else take over, and concentrate on defending herself.
Read the full editorial here.

The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Harrisburg Patriot-News also called for Kane's resignation in recent editions:

From Philly.com: Kane should step down

From PennLive.com: Attorney General Kathleen Kane should resign: Editorial

When three liberal newspapers that endorsed you in 2012 are now calling for your resignation, you know you're in trouble. A pending decision by the Montgomery County DA to prosecute Kane for perjury could be the final nail in her political coffin.

Two of Pennsylvania's biggest and most influential newspapers are calling for embattled Pa. Attorney General Kathleen Kane to resign in the wake of numerous scandals that have plagued her tenure since she took office in 2013. It also speaks volume that both The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Harrisburg Patriot-News endorsed Kane for election in 2012 and are among the most liberal newspapers in Pennsylvania, typically giving Democratic politicians the benefit of the doubt. But there's no doubt among the editorial boards of both newspapers that Kane can no longer do her job while facing potential criminal charges and revelations that she has interfered with criminal investigations of Democratic political figures.

From the editorial pages of The Philadelphia Inquirer, which never met a Democrat, including Kathleen Kane, it didn't endorse for office:
Pennsylvania's self-destructing attorney general, Kathleen Kane, should resign. This week alone, The Inquirer has reported that she disrupted a second political corruption case, while the Supreme Court upheld a probe into her dissemination of grand jury information that could yield criminal charges.
It's now clear that since her early days in office, Kane's attempts to protect legitimate law enforcement targets and smear rivals have been at odds with the public interest.

Guest Column: Don't be fooled – Gov. Wolf's budget will cost you

These days, April Fools' isn't the only day you have to be on guard for potential pranks. As we move through budget season in the state legislature, don't be tricked by phrases like "holistic budget" or "property tax relief."

In fact, under Gov. Tom Wolf's proposed budget, the last thing middle-class, working families and small businesses will feel is relief. What's really in Gov. Wolf's budget plan for Pennsylvania? Billions in new taxes and borrowing to support historic levels of government spending.

Last month, the governor presented his ideal state spending plan, a $33.8 billion budget that relies on major tax increases and increased borrowing. As proposed, Gov. Wolf's budget would spend state taxpayer dollars at unprecedented levels, and represents a 16 percent increase with $4.7 billion in new spending this year alone.

Just how much does he want to spend? If Gov. Wolf's plan is enacted, the Commonwealth will spend $92.6 million in state dollars every day. That equates to $3.9 million per hour, over $64,307 per minute or $1,071 per second.

To pay for this huge increase in government spending, Gov. Wolf is looking to you, the taxpayer. His plan would raise the Personal Income Tax (PIT) by 21 percent and increase and expand Sales and Use Tax revenues by over 40 percent for more state spending. The result? An outrageous, every-thing-in-the-kitchen-sink budget that is balanced on the backs of hard-working, middle-class families and small businesses which account for more than 95 percent of all employers in Pennsylvania.

In addition to raising existing taxes, Gov. Wolf is also proposing to effectively create 550 new taxes, many of which would negatively impact our most vulnerable citizens. Products and services that were not taxed before, like diapers, baby wipes, child care, personal hygiene products, veterinarian services, non-prescription drugs, caskets and burial vaults, home health care services and assisted living services, will now be taxed at 6.6 percent.

What will Pennsylvanians get in return? Gov. Wolf has promised his plan will provide much-needed property tax relief, but will it? Not likely. The governor's plan would raise $6.8 billion in taxes, but only put $3.7 billion toward property tax relief. As proposed, taxpayers in more than 400 of the state's 500 school districts would pay more in personal income and sales taxes than they would receive in property tax relief.

Additionally, the governor's distribution of wealth plan disproportionally benefits urban districts, which already receive the highest allocation of state education funding.

Think about it: It took this Commonwealth 200 years to reach a budget of $20 billion. Eight years under infamous spender, Gov. Rendell brought us to $28 billion. Our new governor blows those numbers out of the water, looking to spend an $8 billion more in the next two years alone. Just as you struggle to live within your means to balance your household budget, we as state government must also live in reality.

As state representatives who promised to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, we cannot support a budget that raises billions of dollars in new taxes but fails to address the state's well-known, impending pension crisis or rein in government spending. With our economy finally on the rebound, we need a budget that addresses government waste, fraud and abuse, continues to grow our economy and, most importantly, protects taxpayers.

This April Fools' Day, don't let a wolf pull the wool over your eyes with promises of "jobs that pay, schools that teach and government that works." The only guarantee that comes with Gov. Wolf's spending plan is that taxpayers will certainly pay.

Rep. Kerry Benninghoff is the Majority Policy Chairman, and Rep. Bryan Cutler is the Majority Whip of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Both are Republicans.
