| abstract | - Looks like Joe Hoeffel got a pretty sweet deal and a $103,000/year job from Ed Rendell. Is Joe the best qualified candidate for the job? Or is this the payoff we all expected after Joe got in the race for Lt. Gov. and then backed out the next day after a "meeting" with Ed? Politics-as-usual strikes again.
* [">AP Wire | 07/12/2006 | GOP says Hoeffel hiring is Rendell payback] Associated Press, HARRISBURG, Pa. - The state Republican party on Wednesday accused Gov. Ed Rendell of paying back a political favor when his administration hired Joe Hoeffel four months after the former congressman dropped his challenge to Rendell's running mate. On Monday, Hoeffel began his $104,431-a-year job heading the state's Office of International Business Development, a job that had been vacant for about 18 months.
