All five living former Pennsylvania governors urged state leaders Monday to make Gov. Josh Shapiro's safety a nonpartisan priority, days after Treasurer Stacy Garrity refused to approve more than $1 million in security payments tied to the governor's private residence.
The joint statement was signed by Democrats Tom Wolf and Ed Rendell and Republicans Tom Corbett, Mark Schweiker, and Tom Ridge, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The former governors called the 2025 arson attack on the state-owned Governor's Residence an "unspeakable attack" and urged lawmakers to act.
