Miccarelli then announced re-election plans!He'll be able to return to work at the Capitol under an agreement that extends Toohil's temporary order to three years but does not require him to admit wrongdoing.
Miccarelli, a 35-year-old Iraq War veteran from Delaware County, declared victory.
"I've had little to no contact with her for a long time, and you know what? If that's what settles this matter, that I have no contact with her as I've had none for a long period of time, I'm OK with it," Miccarelli said at the Luzerne County Courthouse.
Toohil said she's satisfied with the terms of the extended agreement, which also forbids Miccarelli from possessing a firearm except during the performance of his National Guard duties.Miccarelli has resisted calls from House Republican leaders, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and others to resign, previously calling his accusers former girlfriends with whom he had "consensual sexual relations" before his recent marriage.
"The constituents of my district, they know me. The outpouring of support from them has been unbelievable. They want me to continue serving as their representative," he said. "I plan to stand for re-election, and we're going to leave this to the voters."
And yes, it's legal for representatives to pack heat while in the General Assembly.
Holy shit...just looked at some photos of Miccarelli. The guy has aged about 30 years since 2012. We are the same age and he could pass as my father! I guess being a shitbag does take a physical toll in some cases.
