PA TREASURER SAYS HER OFFICE WILL NOT PAY FOR SECURITY WORK AT GOVERNOR SHAPIRO’S PRIVATE HOME

Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity says her office will not pay about one-point-one million dollars for security work at Governor Josh Shapiro’s private home.

Garrity says state police ordered the work after last year’s arson attack at the official governor’s residence. She says taxpayer money cannot be used for private property upgrades without legal approval. Shapiro’s office says state police are exploring options to get vendors paid.
