Tom Gannon abuses the privileges of incumbency. (Surprise!)

Funds are provided to state legislators to inform their constituents of important information. Our state rep, in a very close race for the first time in a long while, has been bombarding residents of his district with material that’s clearly intended to be self-promotional. Here, you can see that he doesn’t even give you the phone number or address to contact the agency that administers this program.

Tom Gannon abuses the perks of incumbency.

I guess we should have expected this from Tom “Unvouchered Expenses” Gannon.

For the record, eligible Pennsylvania families may find more information about CHIP health insurance for children by visiting http://chipcoverspakids.com, or calling 1-800-986-KIDS. Of course, a state legislator’s office should be willing to help, but you do not HAVE to ask them in order to get more information.

And in November, vote for Bryan Lentz if you live in PA-161.

    Nice work.

    Makes me wanna print 1000 to Johnny Appleseed the whole district and then some.

    I must say, I do like the idea of brokering information to human services in exchange for votes…but yes, misusing resources to do so and then holding the information for ransome should be punishable — by a word lashing at least.
