Top prosecutor's twin files complaint about sister's office

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's embattled attorney general's administration is facing yet another employee complaint — this time from her twin sister.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane's twin has filed a wage and gender discrimination complaint against her sister's office, The Morning Call of Allentown reported (http://bit.ly/1teyEtf).

Ellen Granahan works as a chief deputy attorney general and says her $88,509 salary is 17 to 37 percent lower than what male and female agency lawyers with similar titles earn. She filed the complaint Dec. 30 with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission.

The agency gave Kane's administration until May 12 to respond. It wasn't clear if that happened, and neither Granahan nor Kane's office would comment on it.

Granahan has worked as a state prosecutor since 2008.

After Kane was sworn in as attorney general in 2013, Granahan was promoted to chief deputy attorney general of the office's child predator section. Granahan's promotion came with a 20 percent raise, the newspaper reported.

Well, maybe it’s political theater by two leftists set to create a narrative.

No, the twin worked in the AG’s office before Kane became attorney general.

No ... let's be consistent ...

Liberalism is a mental disorder, so what we have here is an unstable personality demanding her way, and it doesn't matter who she targets ... she wants what she wants and THAT is the issue with the mentally disordered

So she helped with the promotion. I think once she won the election, the sister should have resigned.

Nepotism. They both should go to jail. And BTW, that 37% figure is the exact amount LESS than men the women at Shrillary’s State Department were paid. And the women at the Clinton Family Crime Fund Foundation also are paid an almost identical amount less than the male employees.

Well......yeah. Heck.....the men have to do extra stuff, like unusual operations at Ft. Marcy Park ‘n ‘at. They should get extra pay.

The only place I can think of where women get paid less is government. Every place I’ve worked has had a equal pay policy. Every state I’ve worked in has had a equal pay statute—going back to the late 1980s.

The entire “women get paid less” is a scam. There have been numerous studies that show that when you account for time on the job, women get paid more.

The only reason that women are claimed to be paid less is made up statistics from leftists groups that look at “women” as a whole, instead of at particular jobs.

It is men who are discriminated against, not women. Women are treated as a special, privileged class by the law. Men are not.
