Pennsylvania Facing A Depression
February 8th, 2010 Posted in activists
Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha dead at 77.
John was best known for his pork he brought home to PA, including his airport that may now get more traffic from this link, than it does passengers.
The John Murtha Johnston-Cambria County Airport got an estimated $150 million in federal funds that he steered to it.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington labeled him one of the “most corrupt” members of Congress.
Murtha gave no ground. “If I’m corrupt, it’s because I take care of my district,” he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in March 2009. “My job as a member of Congress is to make sure that we take care of what we see is necessary.”
PA is going to feel the hurt.

Yes, he was corrupt to the core. One of his nephews got a govt contract worth millions without a bid.
