Boscov is also a prominent political donor, contributing more than $130,000 to Rendell alone since 2001, according to state campaign finance records.
But Rendell said the state's pledge of financial help was "in no way, shape or form a political payback." He noted that he would not have made that pledge without recommendations from top advisers.
Sure Ed, this couldn't be a political "payback" - his top "advisors" think this is a great idea, too.
The Govenor uses federal HUD money to give a retail department store a loan to stay in business, and this is out of the goodness of his heart. And our pocketbooks.
Rendell must think we are all idiots. As a matter of fact, he's right. If we weren't idiots, Rendell would already be in jail.
