Pennsylvania treasurer says taxpayers won't pay for $1M in security upgrades at Shapiro's home

Pennsylvania’s treasurer is refusing to approve payments for more than $1 million in security upgrades to the private home of Gov. Josh Shapiro.

The upgrades were made after an intruder set fire to the state-owned governor's residence last year in an attempt to kill the Democrat.

But state Treasurer Stacy Garrity says Pennsylvania State Police have no legal authorization to use taxpayer dollars to reimburse contractors for work on his private residence in a Philadelphia suburb.

The state treasurer is expected to be Shapiro’s main opponent this fall as the governor seeks reelection.

Garrity is uncontested for the GOP nomination and says her decision is not politically motivated.
