PITTSBURGH -- A Dan Onorato campaign worker is facing felony drug charges after she was arrested at a campaign office in Lawrenceville.

Lauren Lynn McDonnel was charged with felony conspiracy to manufacture drugs. Police said they found 28 marijuana plants in the basement of her home on Belgreen Place in Oakland.

State trooper and U.S. Postal inspectors searched the house after smelling a strong odor of marijuana coming out of the front door, police said.

Investigators said they were initially called to the house to track a package from Los Angeles that police said contained 12 ounces of marijuana.

McDonnell was a full-time organizer of Onorato's primary campaign. According to Kevin Kinross, an Onorato for governor campaign worker, McDonnell was recommended to the PA Democratic Party to work for all state office candidates.

Well, we suspected and now we know for sure they’re smoking their breakfast. I wonder if the local fast food joint noticed it’s sales were increasing?

She must have been the one who thought “how to pronounce his name” was the crucial message Onorato needed to put forth in his campaign ads.

Granted it is a local race, so folks should be in the know, but I do notice it took until the end of the 5th paragraph to identify the perp as a ‘rat. Go figure.
