An ethical question for leading Pa. Democrat

As part of a fresh lease struck between the state and the new owner, taxpayers are paying $4,600 a month for Mellow's office. This was nearly twice as much as paid to Brad Inc. and near the top of the market, experts say.

The Senate also pledged to rent the building for at least six more years - with an option to renew provided that Mellow is still in office.

He is up for reelection in 2010.
