You simply can't believe anything to come out of Penn State any longer.

Rodney Erickson, the new President of Penn State, says he only learned of the Sandusky investigation in November. Yet the Harrisburg paper ran the story of the investigation back in March 2011. And then-President Graham Spanier briefed the PSU Board of Trustees.

It's all getting sticky. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett, who was the Attorney General who began the Sandusky investigation, took gubernatorial campaign donations from the board members of The Second Mile while he had the Sanduksy grand jury impaneled. And he let Bob Poole, the Chairman of the Board of The Second Mile, host a fund-raiser for him, while the grand jury was impaneled.

Poole has admitted that he knew a grand jury was then investigating Sandusky.

Poole Anderson (his company) is paid $25 million a year by Penn State for work on its construction projects. Poole Anderson was also the construction manager for the $11.5 million "Center for Excellence," a Second Mile project. Corbett approved a $3 million state grant for it after getting elected. Then the state grant was put on hold after the indictments.

Now, The Second Mile is selling the property.

Where did The Second Mile get the 60+ -acre property for its Center for Excellence? It bought the property from Penn State for $168,000. In 2002.

I've said it before. There is no family tree in Happy Valley. It's a wreath.

Great comment, but it is like that everywhere. In the South we call it "the good old boy network" - but it is the same thing. Buddy system, friends help friends, no bid awards for work given to friends, who then return the favor with donations or contacts. It is how the rich get richer and their friends live as if they were rich but are only getting by on loans/deals within their buddy system.

I meant to say "You simply can't believe anything to come out of Happy Valley any longer," although most of these people have connections to Penn State. And it's becoming clear that the PSU Board of Trustees only acted surprised on November 4 and 5, 2011.

Everywhere I Google, it's like turning on the lights in a tenement apartment kitchen. More cockroaches. Bob Poole also held a fund-raiser for Leslie Dutchtot, the district judge and Second Mile volunteer who let Sandusky out of jail on unsecured $100,000 bail and has since been removed from his case.

He's rather closely aligned with Penn State, as well as being the Chairman of the Board of The Second Mile. Here's his bio from PSU's Smeal College of Business:

Penn State Alumni Fellow in 2001 and received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2006. He and his wife, Sandy, have funded the following endowments: The Robert and Sandra Poole Endowment for Excellence in Real Estate Studies, The Robert and Sandra Poole Schreyer Honors College Scholarship, The Robert and Sandra Poole Graduate Assistantship in the Libraries, and the Robert and Sandra Poole Faculty Fellowship in Business. Bob and Sandy also funded the Dean's Suite at the new Smeal College of Business Building. Bob is a member of the Mount Nittany Society. Mr. Poole is on the Executive Committee and Chairs the Leadership Gifts Program "For the Future Campaign" at Penn State. He also Chairs the Schreyer Honors College and is on the Board of Visitors for the Smeal College of Business at Penn State. He previously served on the Steering and Executive Committees of The Penn State Grand Destiny Campaign.

“It’s all getting sticky.” If the whole “Second Mile” connections weren’t so inherently sick and perverse, your statement could be funny. All the men connected and supporting The Second Mile could have been involved in a boy/man sex ring. Homosexuality is a group activity and it always prefers boys-—pederasty is the root of all homosexual societies-—because a boy has to be perverted and twisted at a young age to go against nature.

This training and grooming is written about in homosexual literature (and glorified).

People who think this was not a “ring of men” in places of high power are deluding themselves. Homosexuals have no morality-—no sexual morality—which means all sex acts are devoid of judgement-—all are “good” that are “pleasurable”. In homosexual literature the Man/boy connection is their ideal.
