Question: "Do you know when the Right to Know Law bill was considered by the House for final passage?"
Shimkus's Answer: "...if the House voted on the senate version of the Right to Know Law on February 11th, that is one session day I missed because I was being treated for this sinus condition."

Question: "...any affidavit or statements from the doctor, medical report or something, you can offer to the Court about your memory problems, right?"
Shimkus's Answer: "No."

"Mr. Murphy now has evidence to claim Mr. Shimkus:

■ Lied about where he lived. In March, a Commonwealth Court judge threw Mr. Shimkus off the Democratic primary ballot, ruling he intentionally deceived voters by using a Scranton address on his nomination petition when he really lived in Throop.

■ Tried to head off growing displeasure with Mr. DeWeese among House Democrats by e-mailing them to ask for end to the calls for Mr. DeWeese to give up his leadership post."

"People nowadays love a government rebel and Murphy is coming off like the wild colonial boy ready to take on all comers in a bust ’em up Irish saloon donnybrook."

Kevin has demanded that Rep. Bill DeWeese resign his post as Majority
Leader and that Rep. Frank Shimkus return or donate to charity those monies DeWeese has contributed or raised on his behalf.

"Stop the feeding frenzy!" says Frank Shimkus. Those ten Reps. are just "posturing with their public statements."
