The ongoing investigation into Pennsylvania State Constables working in Reading, PA, and Berks County, is about to produce results.
Word has it that at least one Constable has been offered a plea agreement and has been given the Labor Day Weekend to mull the offer.
Accepting the plea agreement would mean resigning the elected state law enforcement post and losing out on what has become a gravy train in recent years.
What once had been a low-paying, low-prestige job is now the highest paid elected post in the Commonwealth. Three Berks constables made $250,000 in 2007. That's more than Gov. Ed Rendell, the attorney general, judges, you name it. Nobody made more than a Berks constable last year.
Nothing will happen until after Labor Day.
So, relax and enjoy the long weekend and tune in here next week for updates.
