Weeks before introducing a bill to streamline data center development across Pennsylvania, [Republican] State Sen. Greg Rothman’s real estate firm quietly collected a fee from the $30 million sale of land now hosting the state’s largest proposed data center. Whether that sequence amounts to a conflict of interest — or simply an uncomfortable overlap — depends entirely on who you ask and what standard you think elected officials should be held to.
Seems like they made the wrong career move somewhere along the line.
I know a guy that hated people but he bought a motel. Didn’t work out in the long run.
This guy made between $600K - $1.2M on the sale if he only represented the buyer, and that’s without the additional quid pro quo that’s very likely coming his way. Walking away with more than 9x the average U.S. salary (and possibly far more than that) makes me think it’s working out quite well for him.
Crime does pay if you are a conservative.
Is that your measure of success $K or $M.
Some people are so poor, all they have is money.
I like to be able to sleep at nights. I wake up refreshed.
Do you actually think the wealthy and people like this guy have the slightest trouble sleeping? Take a good look at them when they appear in public. The wealthiest people in the world are sleeping just fine.
By contrast the poor will have almost 5,500 fewer nights on this earth before they die. It’s a good thing they wake up refreshed.
