The Montgomery County District Attorney is launching a political corruption hotline so that residents can report on the behavior of political officials. District Attorney Risa Ferman said she created the office residents should have a place to report government corruption and know that the information would be vetted and investigated.^[1]

Ferman also said it was a response to the "Bonus-gate" controversy seen at the capital. Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett applauded the creation of the site.^[1]
