DeWeese Sentenced To 30-60 Months, Forfeits Pension

Former Rep. Bill DeWeese (D-Greene), a longtime power broker in the state House, was sentenced this afternoon to 30 to 60 months in state prison on his convictions for using state-paid employees on his election campaigns.
          Dauphin County President Judge Todd A. Hoover imposed the sentence, plus $25,000 in fines and $116,000 in restitution, little more than two months after a county jury convicted the 35-year Democratic legislator from Greene County of multiple counts of theft, conspiracy and conflict of interest.  Click Here for full story.
