Veon To Turn Himself In To Police Today

UNCUT: AG Announces Charges In "Bonus Gate"

Details From The Attorney General's Office

HARRISBURG (KDKA) ― Former Democratic Whip Mike Veon is expected to turn himself in to police today to face a number of charges in connection with a grand jury's so-called "Bonus Gate" investigation.

State Attorney General Tom Corbett announced charges against the former state representative and eleven other people during a news conference yesterday afternoon in Harrisburg.

The grand jury determined that public funds were used to dole out hefty taxpayer-financed bonuses for staff members' campaign work.

Beaver County State Representative Sean Ramaley, who is running for a seat in the state Senate, is also facing charges as part of the probe.

The investigation began nearly two years ago amid allegations that millions of dollars taken from the public treasury were used to underwrite political campaigns.

Corbett says the investigation isn't over yet. More arrests are expected.
