Igor Kenk of Toronto is said to be the greatest bicycle thief.

When he was arrested in 2008, he had 2,865 bikes stashed in his bike shop and in various warehouses.

His method was to point out the bikes he wanted stolen to a mentally ill accomplice who he paid with drugs.

Kenk, before his arrest, was considered an intellectual and hung out with the classical music crowd.

HB 1410 Weakens Budget Oversight

HB 1410 Weakens Budget Oversight

By Leo Knepper

Please, take a moment to contact your Representative and Senator. Ask them to oppose HB 1410.

Pennsylvania’s annual budget process is ripe with problems. Members of the General Assembly are typically given a day to review hundreds of pages of proposed spending, and accounting gimmicks hide the size of spending increases. One of the tricks used to disguise spending is the use of “special funds.” Special Funds frequently become part of the shadow budget with minimal accountability over the spending. One bill gaining traction is the House would add to the problem. HB1410 purports to address a vacated military base that has polluted the water system for the surrounding area.

HB 1410 establishes a Keystone Opportunity Zone around the “qualified former Military Installation.” It allows the municipality to establish a “qualified authority” to fund military installation remediation. The legislation provides a formula to collect a percentage of taxes (CNI, Sales & Use, Personal Income Tax, Realty Transfer Tax, & Local Taxes,) to fund the authority.

HB 1410 directs the State Treasurer to create a new Special Fund known as the Military Installation Remediation Fund to collect monies. Note that the Commonwealth has 36 environment-related special funds. Specifically, Pennsylvania has a safe drinking water special fund, an industrial sites cleanup fund, and a hazardous sites cleanup fund. Any or all of those funds could be utilized for a remediation project such as this if authorizing legislation was passed to allow qualified former military installation projects to be eligible for the monies in these various special funds.

Finally, HB 1410 directing the State Treasurer to establish restricted accounts within the special fund for each qualified former military installation. The funding can be used for funding transportation infrastructure, economic development costs, payment of debt service for construction, infrastructure, site preparation, etc. In other words, it can become a slush fund for pet projects. Raising additional concerns is the provision that allows the State Representative and Senator in that municipality, or an adjacent one, to serve as a board member of the established authority.  The Representative who introduced the legislation, Todd Stephens, just so happens to meet the qualifications to sit on the board.

HB 1410 addresses a problem with questionable methods, and grants the board, and potentially select members of the General Assembly, overly broad discretion in what projects to fund. It runs the risk of becoming one more shadow budget item.

Mr. Knepper is executive director of Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania.

HB 1410 Weakens Budget Oversight Please, take action on HB 1410.

New York public hanging William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 7-15-19

Fort Wood, which is what the Statue of Liberty is built upon, was the place for public hangings in New York City before the statue of was built. The last New York public hanging occurred there on July 13, 1860. The star was the pirate Albert Hicks. More than 12,000 gathered in ships in the harbor to watch.

Nathan Bedord Forrest III William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 7-13-19

Gen. Nathan Bedord Forrest III, the great grandson of the Civil War (and Ku Klux Klan) leader was killed in a bombing raid against the German submarine base at Kiel on July 13, 1943. Some say he was the first American general to die in combat in World War II but that’s parsing things.

Brigadier General Guy O. Fort of the 81st Philippine Division was captured, tortured and executed by the Japanese in January 1942, while Brigadier Gen. Charles L. Keerans Jr., assistant division commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, went missing in action on June 11, 1943 due to a friendly fire incident and was later declared dead.

Dean Malik Hosted Pauline Braccio

Dean Malik Hosted Pauline Braccio — Pauline Braccio described her 1990 rape at the hands of Montgomery County Commissioner Ken Lawrence on Friday’s (July 12) Dean Malik Show.

The rape occurred after a friend of Lawrence drugged her, she says.

We’ve written about it but hearing her own words gives it unexpected power.

Yes, we believe her.

A podcast of the show is here. Malik’s other guests included Juanita Broaddrick. Pauline comes on at the 49:40 mark.

The Dean Malik Show airs noon Fridays on WWDB 860 AM.

Considering the behavior among Montco GOP commissioner candidates — yes Joe Gale and Jeff Salvino you are getting blamed for this too — we fear Lawrence will be returned to office.

We have not heard any prominent Republican condemn, attack or even question Lawrence but we’ve certainly heard them go after each other.

The Democrats have circled the wagons around this protege of Josh Shapiro while the Republicans have created a circular firing squad. Call it how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and let injustice go unpunished.
