Former Harrisburg Treasurer John Campbell accused of misappropriation of funds from Capitol Region Stonewall Democrats.

11 Sep
Thursday @ 6:38 pm

From the Capitol Region Stonewall Democrats web site.

HARRISBURG – September 11, 2014 – The Executive Board of Capital Region Stonewall Democrats has accepted the resignation of John Campbell as Treasurer on Thursday, September 4th. Campbell served 5 years as CRSD’s Treasurer.

The resignation was requested after discovery that a portion of CRSD’s PAC funds were misappropriated.

The Executive Board has cooperated with the District Attorney and is pursuing full repayment of the missing funds.

Chris Dietz, President of Capital Region Stonewall Democrats has said, “we plan to increase our internal checks and balances to avoid this situation in the future, so we can continue to support pro-LGBT equality Democratic candidates.”

CAPITAL REGION STONEWALL DEMOCRATS are a Political Action Committee, an organized group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) citizens and straight allies in Pennsylvania’s Capital Region, including Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and nearby communities.

Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico today announced that the Criminal Investigation Division of his office today filed charges of Theft by Failure to make Required Disposition of Funds Received and a Charitable Organizations Act violation against John Campbell, age 26, of the 200 block of Boas Street, Harrisburg. The charges allege that as Executive Director of the Historic Harrisburg Association, Campbell wrote ten checks totalling over $8,000 to himself. Board members discovered the alleged theft recently when they noticed their "Light Up Harrisburg" account balance was lower than they expected. Campbell is no longer employed by HHA. The charges against him are allegations and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The charges were filed before Magisterial District Judge Barbara Pianka. Campbell is represented by attorney Adam Klein and is expected to turn himself in later this week.

Oversight Field Hearing - The Northern Long Eared Bat: The Federal Endangered Species Act.

11 Sep
Thursday @ 11:21 am

Congressional field hearing held at senate hearing room number one in Harrisburg Monday morning September 8, 2014.

From the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee web site.

This hearing will examine questions regarding bat data and non-human-caused disease, as well as the likely negative impacts that a federal endangered listing of the Northern Long Eared Bat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would have on important activities such as farming. The Northern Long Eared Bat is one of hundreds of species included in the Department of the Interior’s 2011 settlements with two groups that requires listing decisions by 2016. A final decision for the Northern Long Eared Bat could be made within the next several months. Witnesses at this hearing will testify about the real economic impacts of this potential listing on Pennsylvania citizens without any measurable benefits for the bat.
