Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, a Republican from Centre County, was on a junket to the Cheyenne Frontier Days. Four other legislators were also on the trip sponsored by “Pace-O-Matic,” a company that makes gambling equipment like slot machines. The company is hoping for a legal presence in Pennsylvania, although casinos are opposed to that kind of gambling competition.
In the meantime the legislators rake in money from both sides.
Benninghoff and another legislator say they reimbursed Pace-O-Matic for their costs. The company says it will report all of this on its expense form, which is due out in May 2023.
The legislature has refused to a gift ban to reduce the influence of PACs. Why would it?
