HARRISBURG — Former Pennsylvania House Speaker John Perzel plans to plead guilty in a state corruption case.

An order issued today by Dauphin County court says Perzel is scheduled to change his pleas from innocent to guilty at a hearing in Harrisburg on Wednesday.

The order does not specify which charges Perzel will plead guilty to.

Prosecutors have described the Philadelphia Republican as the architect of a scheme to illegally use millions of dollars’ worth of taxpayer-financed computer technology to gain an edge in political campaigns.

The 61-year-old Perzel faces 82 counts that include theft, conspiracy and conflict of interest.

Eric Ruth, a former House GOP technology office employee, is also scheduled to plead guilty. Ruth’s lawyer says his pleas will be to conspiracy and conflict of interest.
