2006 Pennsylvania General Assembly bonus controversy
In 2007, Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett began investigating $3.8 million in bonuses paid to legislative staffers in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. While the bonuses themselves are not illegal under state law, the Attorney General is investigating the possibility that the bonuses were handed out for campaign work. State law forbids state employees from performing campaign work while on the job and forbids payment for campaign work out of taxpayer funds.〔(DeWeese: 7 aides ousted over e-mail | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/18/2007 )〕〔(Dennis B. Roddy and Tracie Mauriello, ''E-mails show how Dems tied staffers' bonuses to campaign work'', Pittsburgh Post Gazette, 12/16/07 )〕
Pennsylvania media refer to this scandal as "bonusgate."〔(What rises to 'criminal level' in Bonusgate? - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review )〕
==Attorney General's investigation==
Bonuses to staffers were awarded by the four legislative caucuses in the Pennsylvania General Assembly with House Democrats handing out $2.3 million, House Republicans - $919,000, Senate Democrats - $41,000 and Senate Republicans $366,000.〔 (Brad Bumstead, ''GOP bonuses legit, Smith says'', Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 12/20/07 )〕
The investigation's early focus on the House Democratic caucus and Attorney General Corbett's 2010 gubernatorial aspirations have led to charges from that the investigation may be politically motivated.〔 (Mario F. Cattabiani and Angela Couloumbis, More subpoenas, more details in Pa. bonus probe, Philadelphia Inquirer, 10/14/07 )〕
