The governor - who is seeking re-election next year - has faced questions over various payments. According to Philly.com, 'the governor has spent $2.36 million on legal consultant DLA Piper, and just recently authorized nearly an additional $1 million to be paid to the firm. The firm's attorneys fees range from $350 per hour, for associates, to $695 an hour for partners'. Another $116,000 has been paid to Blank Rome over plans to privatise the lottery, with another $200,000 being authorised.
Criticism over contracts
Governor Corbett's predecessor, Ed Rendell, also faced criticism 'for his administration's contracts to law firms - many of them from Philadelphia - and in particularly, for work awarded to his former law firm, Ballard Spahr'.
