Former House Speaker John Perzel is currently awaiting trial for allegedly spending taxpayer money on campaigns. He's accused of misusing more than $10 million in tax dollars to get himself and his cronies elected and re-elected. In fact, "the grand jury found Perzel went to great lengths to maintain control and expand his power through illegal means", according to the 2009 press release from then-Attorney General Tom Corbett's office. Perzel is is currently receiving more than $7,100 per month in pension (over $85,000 per year) in addition to a lump-sum payment of more than $200,000 received after his November defeat at the polls. And he won't have to repay any of it even if he's convicted on all charges.
