HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s state treasurer says taxpayer funds cannot be used for the significant security upgrades at Governor Josh Shapiro’s private home. Spotlight PA reports the decision involves more than $1 million in work completed last year.
Treasurer Stacy Garrity says state law does not allow public money to be spent on non-state-owned property. Spotlight PA reports the upgrades followed an attack at the governor’s official residence in Harrisburg.
Shapiro’s office disputes the decision, calling it political and urging payment for vendors and workers. Officials say alternative options include legal action or legislative approval to cover the costs. The issue comes as Garrity prepares for a potential gubernatorial run, adding political tension to the dispute.
