Sunoco cutting costs. "Welcome America" shindig costs milliions.. If rumors are true, Sunoco locked in at $80.00 a barrel when others were paying $150.00, however, Sunoco kept shoveling in the money when gas at the pump neared $4.00 a gallon for consumers. Never heard a peep from Sunoco about losing money then. As for the CEO's salary which is obscene, if she took a pay cut, as she proposes some workers, or as one of her minions referred to them as " A pile of Nomex" her lifestyle wouldn't change in the least.— A Ludwig- I for one want to give money to the "Tans for Vinny" fund. He is looking quite pasty nowadays.— Jack Daniels on the rocks
- FREE FUMO— Sweet Lou
Comment removed.- Having a can of hairspray fedexed to Florida? It's good to be king!— DonQ
- I agree with Sweet Lou. Free Fumo. The prosecution is wasting tax payers money much more so than Fumo with their ridiculous picky accusations. Fumo did the same as all the others in office. His staff loved him and were proud to be associated with him and freely and willingly performed personal tasks for him. That is obvious by now.— La Diva
- La Diva, are you kidding, or are you one of Fumo's minions?— DonQ
- Even if his staff loved him and willingly performed personal tasks, it doesn't make it ethically sound.— harveynoah
- More lies from this pig. You should rot in jail Vince.— WhatGoesAround
- let's see, Fumo says he paid Lisa Costello in cash. Any IRS guys out there looking at the blog and possibly wanting to see if she claimed the "cash" she got for cleaning Fumo's house on her income tax return. Note to prosecutor, maybe ask Vince how frequently and how much cash she got. Maybe if Lisa is confronted by the IRS, she might deny ever getting cash and then Vince perjured himself.— Philly_Guy
- And I only took a little here and I only took a little there and OH I took all of those tools ($40k+++) but I gave them back when I knew I was in trouble. Are you kidding me? Your meek and humble act is shot because your true nasty colors are coming out as you are pressed. Vincent you still have the same attitude that got you into trouble - How dare you ask me! I'm Vince Fumo! 10 Years.— 10Years
- Wheres the Geator with the Heater...Jerry Blavat? Its the Geator with the Heater, with the Heater, with the Heater, The Boss with the Hot Sauce, the Man with a Plan....Wooo! Clap your hands, clap your hands clap your mother lovin hands! Great witness list Vince!— Julio29
- response to 10Years, you are right, but don't forget, Fumo only paid back the Seaport Museum for a few boat trips only after he knew the feds were looking into it.— Philly_Guy
- Comment removed.
- i've known vince for over fourty years,and paying back some of the money hurt him more than his daughter cutting him out of her life. if you really want to punish him confiscate his money he has lost his power alredy.maybe when he gets out of prison he could be a consultant like buddy cianfrani or jim tayoun but not like lee beloff he's to smart for that.— OLD39TH
- Welcome to Schawshank.....SEN....NAAA....TOR!!!!!!! Now we're going to spend "OTHER PEOPLES MONEY".............YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— mf
- Get ready for the big house Vinnie!!— methinks
- Get ready for the big house Vinnie!!— methinks
- I believe the million dollar gift was his divorce settlement that Steve Marcus paid for. OPM all the way!— WhatGoesAround
If you receive a million dollar boat as a gift I was under the assuption that you were responsible for federal taxes (any gift over 10k?)on it???— Earl J- sen. fumo did more for south philly and his district than anyone before him . i don`t think any one can top what he accomplished in 30 years as a senator or care about people the way he does.trying him is a joke and a waste !!!!— sammy_b

- His own lawyer Sprague dumped him because he perjured himself about having evidence wiped from the computer and obstructing justice. I guess his megalomania got the best of him. Then one of his aids called, getting his state paid employees to do campaign work and personal jobs for him a matter of culture change. That’s the latest euphemism for, “everybody does it”!— freedomrider
- true what goes around comes around you idiots are critizing fumo while you reap the benifits of a peco discount.OH U DONT LIVE HERE I FORGOT!! go back to where you came from and i hope when you get old and no one cares you will wish there was someone like fumo around to tend to your needs like he did for the thousands of seniors— cityslicker
- Is there anything he did not admit to? FIRST thing you are taught in law school Ignorance is never a defense. First thing! He got caught with his hand and feet in the cookie jar! 10 to 15 years.— evan31
