Pasquale T Deon Sr

Chairman, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (Appointed by Board)

He had purchased his father's Bucks County beer distributorship when he was 18, and ran it until he sold it to his son. He helped his father in the commercial real-estate business. He and Eagles broadcaster Merrill Reese bought a small radio station - WBCB (1490-AM) in Levittown Deon's business interests stretch from beer distributorships and gaming to real estate and construction. As chairman of the powerful Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, a member of the state Turnpike Commission, and a prolific Republican fundraiser, his reach into the halls of political power is extensive.
