Between November 2002 and October 2010, principals with McTish, Kunkle & Associates<br />

contributed $161,300.00 to those political candidates exerting the most power and control over<br />

the <strong>Turnpike</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Jury</strong> finds a prima facie case that George Hatalowich committed a conflict of<br />

interest by accepting a $4,000.00 travel voucher from Matthew McTish, and use of the MKA<br />

apartment and Pirates tickets from the MKA Office Manager. The <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Jury</strong> further finds a<br />

prima facie case that the work awarded to McTish, Kunkle, & Associates, along with the gift<br />

motivated by a desire to “thank” the <strong>Turnpike</strong>, and their campaign contributions are indicative of<br />

a larger pattern and practice of bid-rigging and commercial bribery by decision-makers within<br />

the <strong>Turnpike</strong> and those legislators endeavoring to influence those decisions.<br />
