ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 20th day of August, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
(1) Whether the Pennsylvania conflict of interest law is unconstitutionally
vague on its face, and whether as applied in this case the trial court
improperly expanded the definition of “private pecuniary interest” to
include “intangible political gain,” thereby threatening the constitutional
rights of all elected officials in Pennsylvania.
(2) Whether the restitution ordered in this case was improper[] because the
Commonwealth cannot be a victim under the subject criminal statutes.
