Rubin Takes Leave of Absence

Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Chairman Mitchell Rubin told Governor Ed Rendell on Saturday that he's taking an unpaid leave of absence, effective immediately.

Rubin cited "personal matters" in a letter to Rendell, according to a news release from the turnpike commission.

Rubin's wife, Ruth Arnao, a longtime aide to former Senator Vince Fumo was convicted of 45 counts, including obstruction, on Monday. Fumo was convicted of 137 criminal charges, including one concerning Rubin's employment.

Rubin reportedly held a no-show job as a state Senate consultant. Fumo paid Rubin $150,000 a year in state tax dollars.

Fumo could face up to 10 years in prison when sentenced July 13. Rubin has not been charged
