Last night as the polls were closing in Harrisburg, there was a large crowd of campaign workers at the headquarters of State Senator-Elect Rob Tepliz.
Many called themselves “paid volunteers”.
In a CBS 21 News exclusive reporter Kirk Clyatt was there as Tepliz handed out thousands of dollars in cash to the waiting crowd.
They may be supporters of Rob Tepliz, but they are not here to cheer the candidate, they are here to pick up $125 for working today for the campaign.
We were able to get into the campaign office and some of the workers were less than happy to see us.
Wanda Williams, the Harrisburg City Council President, was one of those helping to hand out the cash.
Rob Teplitz, 15th District Senator Elect:
“I think it making a lot out of something minor, we've been so overwhelmed with the amount of support that we have had. We're just experiencing growing pains because we had so many people waiting to help.
John McNally, Republican Senatorial Candidate:
“nobody got paid in our campaign, we had about 700 hundred volunteers out there, the only thing they were looking for is good government. I ran the campaign i want to run, i ran a campaign that was positive, that was based on the issues, that voiced on leadership and dialog in this community.”
So for Rob Tepliz his 100 plus paid operatives paid off and he is the Democratic Senator Elect for the 15th District.
