Orie Campaign Takes Voters To The Movies

Jane Orie's most recent campaign flyer, delivered to voters this week, is by far her best yet, resembling a great movie poster.
The title: Jane Orie For State Senate

The producer: Senate Republican Campaign Committee

The taglines: "Jane Orie Wants Answers: The Political Insiders Want Her Out" and "Jane Orie Is Taking On The 'Good Old Boys' Network: Now They Want Her Out"

The heroine: Jane Orie, "fighting to end 'cozy' deals given to political insiders"

The villains: Steve Zappala, the Connected D.A.; Charles Zappala, the List-Maker; Greg Zappala, the Money-Maker; and other "members of a . . . network"

Guest star: Cyril Wecht, M.D., J.D., Dem.: "Steve Zappala . . . said that anybody who screws with me or my family is going to be indicted"

Story by: Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Memorable scenes:
  • "If you paid taxes in Allegheny County in the last 20 years, a sliver of the bill went to members of an informal network . . .

  • "$32 million in payments were documented to network-related businesses from 2005-2009"

  • "Greg Zappala, the District Attorney's brother, financially benefitted from county bond deals in 1996 and 1999"

  • "J.P. Morgan made a large sum of money in a bond deal in the Onorato Administration. Greg Zappala worked at J.P. Morgan at the time"
Quote from star: It's always the Zappalas!

Watch for sudden contributions from list makers to Dan DeMarco (D-Orieland), right?

The compliment is appreciated, and will be forwarded to the Infinonytunes selection department, but many of the songs are so obvious they pick themselves.
