Thomas Martin Nolan (born October 24, 1916 - April 7, 1989) is a former Democratic member of the Pennsylvania State Senate and Pennsylvania House of Representatives.[2]
He represented the 34th legislative district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1969 to 1970.[3] He was then elected to represent the 44th senatorial district in the Pennsylvania Senate in 1970.[4]
During a 1971 debate, Governor Milton Shapp's proposed a 5% state income tax. Nolan was one of two democratic holdouts in the Pennsylvania Senate. When the suggested rate was reduced to 3.5%, Nolan finally agreed to vote in favor of it.[5] It was alleged that Nolan's brother Edward, was offered a bribe in exchange for convincing his brother to vote in favor of the tax.[6] The matter was referred to the FBI, the Allegheny County District Attorney, and U.S. Attorney Richard Thornburgh, but no charges were ever filed.[5]
Thom Nolan served in the Senate until 1978.
He and three other defendants, including Vince Fumo and Pete Carmiel, were convicted of placing "ghost workers" on state payroll.[7] The charges were later thrown out.
