Thorns to Pa. Attorney General Kathleen Kane
From the editorial pages of The Pottstown Mercury:
THORNS
to Pennsylvania’s new attorney general Kathleen Kane for holding a
press conference and then refusing to answer questions about a contract
to privatize management of the state Lottery. According to a report at
PhiladelphiaCBSlocal.com by reporter Tony Romeo, Kane refused to take
questions after declaring that a contract to privatize management of the
Lottery, negotiated by Gov. Tom Corbett violated the state
constitution. Reporters were told to submit questions via e-mail to be
answered later. Franklin and Marshall College political analyst Terry
Madonna says the move was unusual, Romeo reported. Romeo quoted Madonna:
“Public officials owe it to the citizens of the state to hold press
availabilities to answer questions from the press particularly when they
render important decisions with huge implications, fiscal, as well as
political.” We wholeheartedly agree.
