Rendell to Remove Rubin
Governor Ed Rendell is removing Mitchell Rubin as chairman the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.
In a letter, Rendell says Rubin has received a target letter from federal prosecutors stemming from activity that was described in the federal corruption trial of former state Senator Vincent Fumo.
Rendell says the indictment against Fumo says Rubin and his company received $150,000 from the state for work that apparently was never done.
A jury in Philadelphia convicted Fumo of all 137 corruption counts against him. In the same trial, Rubin's wife, longtime Fumo aide Ruth Arnao, was convicted of all 45 counts against her.
Rendell is expected to address the issue at a news conference this afternoon.
