IN HARRISBURG, LOBBYISTS
Pay for Rick Saccone’s

Lavish Meals

Rick Saccone has an “appetite for fine dining” and routinely “eats breakfasts, lunches, appetizers, and dinners that lobbyists pay for in Harrisburg.” And Saccone billed Pennsylvanians $435,172, using his expense account in his first seven years as a state legislator in Harrisburg. $435,172 – that’s seven years of paychecks (median household income PA18 in 2016 is $63,825, according to US Census) and enough money to buy three houses (local median home value is $130,400). On top of that, Rick Saccone has a taxpayer-funded salary of $87,180. And now, Harrisburg politician Rick Saccone wants a promotion to the United States Congress.
