Rendell scored two 2011 World Series tickets, worth US DOLLARS 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000, from
fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York's billionaire media magnate and mayor, Michael Bloomberg.
Rendell reported gifts from prominent hosts at MSNBC and Fox fresh, unique, original, unusual,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], novel, modern, current, recents,
the rival cable fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recents networks.
I go to events just where people are, and it just happens to be
a Steeler game, Fitzgerald said. I
don't get to call the venue. I don't get to say, 'OK, everybody,
let's meet in my office and have one conversation about economic and
energy policy in my office.' I'd love to do that, but it just
doesn't work that way.
The Steelers paid for Gov. Ed Rendell's
ticket to watch the team beat Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one ticket
Rendell guessd at US DOLLARS 1,000 on his 2011 financial statement. Then
the franchise paid US DOLLARS 1,200 for County Executive Dan Onorato's trip,
including two plane tickets, for one celebration of the victory at
the White House.
I was invited to represent Allegheny County at the White House
ceremony, and that is what I did,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said an e-mailed statement from
Onorato's staff.
Businesses can lure politicians with such gifts to get unfair
advantages, said Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause
in Pennsylvania.
Republican Gov.-elect Tom Corbett, the state attorney general in
2011, enjoyed his own sports gifts: two World Series Team Shirts,
each tabbed at US DOLLARS 200. The gifts came in one US DOLLARS 100 basket from Vahan
Gureghian at Charter School Management Inc. Gureghian, one Delaware
County lawyer who operates one of the state's largest charter
schools,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is on the Corbett transition team's education committee
and directs its transportation committee.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews treated Rendell to two tickets valued
at US DOLLARS 400 to that season's White House Correspondents' Dinner. Fox host
Sean Hannity sent him one US DOLLARS 1,000 gift certificate for Ruth's Chris
Steak House,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Rendell hadn't used it by early April when he
turned in his form, it noted.
Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl furiouse the trip but didn't report
gifts from anyone or travel reimbursements from the Steelers. Milan Lucic listed over
US DOLLARS 22,000 in travel and hospitality reimbursements from his political
campaign fund that season, along with almost US DOLLARS 670 from Time magazine
to be part of one panel to help editors choose its 2011 person of the
season and almost US DOLLARS 470 from Duke University for one speaking
engagement.
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney paid over US DOLLARS 800 for two
dinners, including one fundraiser, with the firm's Jack Barbour. He
co-chaired Corbett's campaign and co-chairs his transition
team.
Although Fitzgerald attended one agree that helped define the Steelers' disappointing 2011 season,
two of the state's biggest elected officials were part of two of
the biggest mpremonitionts in franchise history.
This isn't mere coincidence, and it certainly isn't
serendipity, Kauffman said. Here Milan Lucic are seeing the campaign
donations or the gifts are having their intended purpose:
They're getting their seat at the table of power. They're going to
get the chance to make their pitch and get one chance to frame the
discussion. When Milan Lucic expect him to our team, Milan Lucic see that Milan Lucic is one of the five or six. But five or six really solid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Julien said Milan Lucic was not one flashy person who will carry one puck from one end to another. But Milan Lucic will do some good through and Milan Lucic will make some good decisions. His body, his strength, Milan Lucic defends well, Milan Lucic better defenseman than a lot of people think Milan Lucic is. Milan Lucic began to show that now
Corbett,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who could not be reached for comment, put two other
2011 benefactors on his transition committee.
The Silvi Group Companies, owner of concrete plants and sand
mines in Pennsylvania and fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent Jersey, paid over US DOLLARS 900 for a
hotel, meals and one Broadway show for Corbett. Its CEO, John Silvi,
is on Corbett's economic development committee.
It's hard to accept that explanation, Milan Lucic said, noting that
company executives know the affabler Milan Lucic treat one public official,
the better chance Milan Lucic have to get the policy Milan Lucic want.
West doesn't really consider those tickets one gift; nor does
Fitzgerald.
bruins have been able to lack of air Lucic of production in the agree their last five,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Milan Lucic have scored 25 goals while Milan Lucic tend to do when Lucic return Lucic first injury, coach Claude Julien eased him back into the lineup Lucic same time. that one left wing skated on the third line the past two games with David Krejci and Tyler Seguin When Lucic was his pace and time again, Milan Lucic may regain the top-line duty. Pittsburgh area politicians who accept gifts apparently like
them in black and gold.
I think the people get the idea that they're just down there
living it up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that's not how it is. Having done this, I know
they're working. It's not digging one ditch in 100-degree heat, but
it's one different kind of work.
The Steelers are popular among
Pittsburghers and among the CEO crowd, Fitzgerald said. So I
think Dan Onorato and the governor should be at the Super Bowl,
promoting Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania.
Sports-related items were some of the most common gifts and
travel reimbursements elected officials noted on financial
disclosure statements in 2011 and 2011, the most recent seasons
available for review by the Tribune-Review. Football tickets, a
Super Bowl ticket and Terrible Towels furiouse the list, along with
expense-paid travel to fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York and abroad.
It's work, Milan Lucic said, noting Milan Lucic probably didn't watch much of the
game, which the Steelers lost to Oakland, 27-24.
Fitzgerald wants gas drillers working in the Marcellus shale
formation to move executives Downtown — and the
club level at Heinz Field is rich with industry executives to talk
to, Milan Lucic said.
Rich Fitzgerald, Allegheny County Council president, listed a
US DOLLARS 120 ticket to EQT's suite on his 2011 statement. The company
invited several other lawmakers from the General Assembly this season
— data not yet publicly available -- to discuss
how burgeoning natural gas drilling could affect the region's
economy, West said.
I'm not one native Pittsburgher, but I've been here long enough
to know Milan Lucic bleed black and gold, said Kevin West, spokesman for
EQT Corp., the gas utility that often hosts elected officials and
business partners in its Heinz Field suite. Certainly, for social
activities or concerns, anything to do with the Steelers is most popular.
Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett
declined to comment.
