Abruzzo Resigns as DEP Secretary

Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

HARRISBURG — A top aide to Gov. Tom Corbett embroiled in a scandal involving sexually-explicit emails exchanged when Corbett was attorney general resigned Thursday, effective immediately, the governor's office said.

E. Christopher Abruzzo, a member of Corbett's Cabinet heading environmental regulation, was among eight men whose names Attorney General Kathleen Kane made public from an office email exchange involving pornographic photos and videos. Abruzzo was secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection. He has declined comment since Kane's office showed the images to reporters last month.

Based on information Kane provided, the photos and videos from emails implicate at least eight former office employees, including Abruzzo and three others who still work for Corbett: State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan, DEP lawyer Glen Parno, and former agent Randy Feathers, who Corbett appointed to the Board of Probation and Parole.

The state Senate approved Corbett's nomination of Abruzzo as DEP secretary in December. He had been a deputy chief of staff to Corbett, and a chief deputy attorney general under Corbett.

I sincerely hope that the next Porn Daddy to resign from Corbett's administration will be the head of the State Police. And I have no doubt that Abruzzo has already been promised a job which will double his salary from one of the Big Frackers who are currently raping the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of its' natural resources without paying one frigging dollar in extraction taxes. As head of Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection, he's been double book-keeping when it comes to documenting pollution/property damage/personal injuries caused by fracking.

The porn involved was of the triple x-rated variety, and seemed to distract the good ole' boy network in Corbett's Attorney General office at the very time they could have been investigating Sandusky.
