PA GOP Congressman Resigns

[DoD1776]

So who takes over? Does the president appoint? The governor?



A five-term GOP congressman who co-chaired Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in Pennsylvania is calling it quits.

Tom Marino said in a statement Thursday that his last day will be Jan. 23 and that he’s taking a job in the private sector.

“I have chosen to take a position in the private sector where I can use both my legal and business experience to create jobs around the nation,” Marino said.

Don't they all, more than two bribers, I mean two "lobbyists" per member of member of the Congress (remember that is BOTH chambers of the Congress), they all suck the toes of Big Pharma.

But that is why we have the best, cheapest drugs, and longest lifespan in the civilized world, oh' wait, yeah that's right, (insert sarcasm) we are actually way down on that list.

"Gov. Tom Wolf will schedule a special election to fill the remainder of Marino’s term."

Translation:
I have decided it is more lucrative to be able to legally take the bribes and kickbacks without worrying about stupid things like ethics.
