Pennsylvania senator Jane Orie, sister to be tried on ethics chargesFrom the Patriot News: A western Pennsylvania lawmaker and one of her sisters will stand trial on charges they had the state senator’s taxpayer-funded staff do campaign work for herself and another sister, a state Supreme Court justice. State Sen. Jane Orie and her sister, Janine, were ordered Wednesday to stand trial by Allegheny County Judge Donna Jo McDaniel after three days of testimony by former staffers to the senator. The women were charged in April with illegally using Jane Orie’s legislative staff. Janine Orie was an aide to another sister, Joan Orie Melvin, while Melvin was on the Superior Court, when she ran unsuccessfully for the Supreme Court in 2003 and won a seat last year. Janine Orie is currently on paid suspension from her $67,000-a-year job as Melvin’s Supreme Court aide. |
