Update: FBI, IRS investigating Sen. Mellow
The FBI and Internal Revenue Service are investigating state Senate Democratic Leader Robert J. Mellow for unspecified illegal activity, FBI spokesman Frank Burton Jr. said today.
The agencies were executing search warrants at Mellow's home in Archbald and at his legislative office in Peckville, said Burton, an FBI spokesman in Philadelphia
Republican candidate Frank Scavo just sent this press release:
State Senatorial Candidate Frank Scavo issued the following statement after the federal raid of the interests of State Senator Bob Mellow (D-22):
“The raid on both Senator Bob Mellow’s home and office is yet another black eye for Northeastern Pennsylvania . Once again, a negative light is cast upon our area. Obviously, this investigation has to run its course and I have the full faith and confidence in our law enforcement professionals to see that this is done properly and without bias.
“However, John Blake was hand-picked by Senator Mellow himself to replace him in the Senate. I think the voters of the 22nd District demand and deserve to know the extent of Mr. Blake’s relationship with Senator Mellow and whether or not Mr. Blake still proudly accepts Mr. Mellow’s endorsement.”

Not sure what is worse, knowing Mellow or being a blatant opportunist.
Another illustrious dem on the perp walk
Whose next Kanjo? Got to watch what i say so many Kanjo supporters on here. What does fast eddie mitchell have to say about mellow isnt he is spokesmen?
Mr Scavo is correct in saying this is another black eye on our area. John Blake is connected to Mellow's hip. I think Mr Scavo will prevail because of him being the outsider. We are fed up with these insider politicians.
Robert Mericle must be singing a wonderful song
Did they take his XM satellite radio???
Speaker McCall is next. Rumors have been flying for weeks that the feds already seized computers from his home and at least one district office.
I'm a rep and Scavo has no chance - not because he is a bad candidate, but the voters won't put a member of the GOP in this seat - too closed minded
Scavo in Harrisburg would be the same as sending nobody. Scavo has an attitude that won't allow him to get along with Democrats or even his own Party. He just wants a job with perks.
i think Scavo is a GREAT candidate! We need someone who ISN'T connected to one of the boyz...haven't we had enough of them? look what they did to our area! As for Blake, to all you voters out there...if you keep voting the same old same old into office, you're going to get the same old BS! Wake up out there and start thinking of yourselves, do you really want to keep paying for all of these corrupt creeps that keep stealing our tax payer money? Unltimately we all have to pay for it. time to vote new blood into office and get different results!!!
Hi Frank!
