From the editorial page of The Pottstown Mercury:

THORNS to state Attorney General Kathleen Kane for another example of nepotism in her office, this time involving her cousin as an executive assistant being paid $56,665 a year. Brad Bumsted of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that Kane hired her cousin Colleen Tighe as executive assistant. A deputy said she was the most qualified for the job. In August, Kane’s office confirmed that her identical twin received a 19.65 percent pay raise in April to head the office’s Child Protection Unit. Ellen Granahan worked in the office before Kane arrived, under former Attorneys General Linda Kelly and Gov. Tom Corbett, who hired her. Hiring relatives is nothing new in government, but it troubles us nonetheless.
