Ron Tomalis has resigned from his position as special adviser to the Governor on higher education today.
Tomalis, who previously served as Gov. Corbett’s Education Secretary, had become a controversial figure after a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report revealed he had done little work despite the pay and perks of the position.
The Post-Gazette found that Tomalis initially worked from home and inquests had found he sent just five emails over the past fourteen months. All the while, he kept his Cabinet-level salary and benefits.
FreshStartPA, a Tom Wolf-aligned PAC, sharply criticized Corbett’s hiring and retention of Tomalis, referring to him as a “ghost employee”.
The controversy was further exacerbated by a disastrous interview conducted by ABC27 with Acting Education Secretary Carolyn Dumaresq. In that interview, she casually mentioned that “his office is three doors down [from mine] you can look at this name on the door.” Yet ABC27 was told by employees that his nameplate had only been added to the door the day before Dumaresq’s interview. She also committed quite the verbal gaffe when she said that her office “delete and cleanse” their emails each night.
Yet the Governor defended Tomalis (and Dumaresq) at the time, stating “if she’s satisfied with him, I’m satisfied with him.”
Tomalis’ resignation does not go into effect until August 26th.
Update: Tomalis makes a vague reference to the scandal in his resignation letter but insists that he is looking for other job opportunities:

It is a measure of the framers’ fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself.

You more often than not have an educational adviser in far above the ground school and then one more one in school.

Paindy1 has, once again, correctly diagnosed this patient. The Commonwealth is suffering from advanced cronyism which appears throughout the body politic. Here, the rotting limb is due to charter school cronies who have fleeced taxpayers from one end of the commonwealth to the other. Unfortunately for the taxpayer, the cronyism on charters crosses party lines. Neither one will rein in the charter school looters because the elected are paid pennies by the charter school millionaires … from the hundreds of dollars skimmed in profits per child each week … riches they have gotten from the taxpayer!!
When in doubt dump your friends !!!

It is time for the Attorney General to open an investigation into Governor Corbett’s executive activity.
1. Use of campaign cell phone to call OAG during 2008 campaign. Election Law violation.
2. Campaign staff on/off OAG state payroll.
3. Political decisions made in OAG with revolving campaign/state staff.
4. Destruction of witness and proffer notes in “Computergate” and Stetler prosecutions.
5. Failure to assign Child Predator Unit to Sandusky investigation. The call for more witnesses was not supported.
6. Destruction of OAG emails after Corbett’s swearing-in ceremony for Governor.
7. Campaign staff in the Governor’s Office influencing state policy.
8. Accepting campaign contributions from The Second Mile network while ignoring TSM’s responsibility in the Sandusky case.
9. Awarding state grant to TSM before rescinding the state grant.
10. Ghost employees, how many?
11. Informing the public of which policy decisions were rendered with the campaign staff present.
This just gets better by the minute.
That said, how objectively embarrassing this administration is.
Did he present his resignation in person, or email it from an undisclosed location?
This just gets better by the minute.

WASN’T TOMALIS REALLY THERE FOR CHARLY ZOGBY AND THE CYBER CHARTER SCHOOL MAFIA? MAKE SURE DUMARESQ DIDN’T GO TO FAR IN PROTECTING TAXPAYERS FROM THESE EDUCATIONAL PIRATES? PENNSYLVANIA TAXPAYERS REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHY TOMALIS HAD THE MOTHER OF ALL SOFT LANDINGS?
