Ex-Aide: DeWeese Knew of Bonuses
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The former chief of staff to House Majority Leader Bill DeWeese testified Wednesday that DeWeese knew bonuses were paid to reward legislative employees for their help on political campaigns.
Michael Manzo made the accusation during a preliminary hearing for two people charged with using state workers and equipment for campaigns. It was the first time anyone has publicly accused DeWeese of knowing about the bonuses and why they were being given out.
DeWeese, D-Greene, on Wednesday declined to answer reporters' questions but said he would hold a news conference later in the day, after a House session.
