Turzai calls Perzel action 'disappointing,' declines comment on leadership races
By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com ReporterHARRISBURG -- State Rep. Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny County) told PolitickerPA.com Tuesday during a brief interview that he disapproves of the action allegedly taken by state Rep. John Perzel (R-Philadelphia), who reportedly conducted opposition research on Turzai and other fellow Republicans.
"It's disappointing," he said. "I prefer a positive team approach."
He declined to comment further.
Turzai has been rumored as the favorite to take over his caucus' minority whip position, but the lawmaker declined to comment on anything regarding the leadership contest.
Turzai was attending Tuesday night's Speaker Franklin Awards Dinner, hosted by the conservative Commonwealth Foundation.

Turzai, Smith and Schroder
Turzai, Smith and Schroder should have had their facts straight before commenting on Carduff's false accusations. It is a sad day for those members.

The political fact is that John Perzel is a scumbag. Over the years, his policies and practices have damaged republicans and disgraced his colleagues.
He is an arrogant, pompous, power-hungry, conceited, vindictive, greedy "Little Caesar".
Whether Carduff's specific allegations are 100% factual is a fair question; but there is little doubt that Perzel, the former maitre d’ from Philadelphia, has repeatedly demonstrated the political capability to do whatever it takes to gain power for him and destroy those standing in his way.
It is time for Little Caesar, the maitre d’, to return to his former trade and cease feeding off the people.
