On Election Day, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane announced an end to the investigation of charges brought by the Berks County Election Board, and was cleared of any wrongdoing for a political contribution he made during his campaign in 2011.
“We obviously made some mistakes on our finance report, and we were certainly willing to correct them at any time,” said Campaign Manager Mike Fleck. “We made this very clear in our testimony, and instead of working with us to correct this, Larry Tabas and the Republican Party, including Berks County Commissioner Mark Scott, decided to turn this into a political witch hunt. They should all be ashamed of themselves, for wasting taxpayers’ money with these outrageous and unfounded claims.”
Spencer stated that he’s glad he can put this case behind him, and focus on his vision of improving the lives of the residents of the City of Reading. He also believes that Berks County officials should be focusing on more important, bi-partisan issues rather than trying to damage the Democratic Party.
“From the legal standpoint, I feel fully vindicated,” said Spencer. “However, on the professional side, I’m angry that this distracted us from working on more important issues that we face in the City of Reading. The residents were the real losers of these political games. Since taking office, I have defended myself from repeated attacks from members of City Council, and prominent Republicans, and have successfully defended every one. It is time for City Council and the Berks County Commissioners to work together to make this a better City and better County. Now that this behind us, we can focus on more important issues like creating jobs and keeping our streets safe. My door is always open for our elected officials to join in our efforts rather than throwing allegations against the wall hoping that something sticks.”
