'Bonusgate' Charges to be Filed;
News Conference at 2 p.m.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett planned to file criminal charges Thursday against at least two people in his investigation of the possible misuse of bonuses for legislative staff members.
Corbett scheduled a 2 p.m. news conference in Harrisburg to announce the results of the grand jury probe. His office has spent 17 months looking into whether any of the millions of dollars in bonuses handed out to legislative staffers in 2005-06 were illegal rewards for work the aides performed for political campaigns.
A spokesman for the attorney general said he cannot release names of the defendants yet because the charges had not been filed. The Dauphin County Common Pleas Court clerk's office had no new public records in the case Thursday morning.
