New Speaker Irvis Gets New Rug for Office Change
HARRISBURG AP Rep K Leroy Irvis, newly moved to a larger speaker’s office, added a rust colored rug to replace a worn gold one. A secretary said the change was practical, not for show, as Irvis keeps humor alive from the high chair. Gov Shapp’s cabinet, in late term, shows few departures with 21 of the original 24 still serving, four left for other jobs, one health related quit, and minimal firings. The admin proclaims October as Country Music Month and promotes Boost Pennsylvania Week plus Restaurant Month.

Ex-Bondsman Tells About Kickbacks in Bail System
A former Allegheny County bail bondsman testified before a federal jury that he paid about 150000 dollars yearly in bribes for five years to magistrates and constables to raise fees and received kickbacks from attorneys for referring clients. Steven Levitt, 35, identified 31 magistrates and four constables involved in a system to boost profits on bail purchases, part of a broader indictment of 71 individuals. He described paying the magistrates the amounts demanded, while prosecutors noted other trials pending and questioned the credibility of his past Guilty pleas and alleged coverups.
