Governor Rendell Issues Statement on Contributions From Norman Hsu
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After learning that
Norman Hsu failed to appear in a California court on 15-year-old fraud
allegations, Governor Rendell today said that he is disappointed in Hsu's
actions and that he will donate Hsu's campaign contributions to charity.
"Though Norman is my friend, and remains so, his failure to appear
casts a new light on his assertions regarding the original case," Governor
Rendell said. "As a result, I will follow other elected officials and
donate the money he contributed to me to charity.
"It was never about the money," the Governor said. "It's about standing
up for one of the principles of our judicial system -- that a person is
presumed innocent until proven guilty.
"The media feeding frenzy around Norman is likely to continue, but I
intend to focus now on the tremendous amount of work we have to complete in
Harrisburg this fall for the people of Pennsylvania."
The Rendell administration is committed to creating a first-rate public
education system, protecting our most vulnerable citizens and continuing
economic investment to support our communities and businesses. To find out
