Sheriff roulette

What favor did newly elected Gov. Tom Corbett owe, and to whom, to nominate former Whitemarsh police Chief Eileen Behr to the vacant Montgomery County Sheriff's post? Seriously, this post has been vacant since former Montgomery County Sheriff John Durante passed away more than a year ago. And if it's a Republican thing then why not the other Republican candidate? Something doesn't smell right, but The Scoop is on it. Rumor has it Corbett owed a favor to someone out west who had a friend in the east. Ain't politics grand?
