Gov. Tom Wolf’s former business, a cabinet supply company in central Pennsylvania, has continued operating during the coronavirus shutdown despite having its waiver rescinded by state officials, PA Post and Spotlight PA have learned.

Last week, in response to questions from the news organizations about how the company qualified as “life-sustaining,” the governor’s office said in a statement that a waiver that had been issued to Wolf Home Products allowing it to stay open would be revoked, forcing it to close.

This article is three weeks old. I could find nothing more recent on the topic.

Anyway, it’s a shame that all those closed Pennsylvania restaurants weren’t making cabinets in their back rooms. Then they could have stayed open.

Remember that some animals are more equal than others. We forget that Orwell said that his novels were warnings, not how to manuals. Our ruling classes think otherwise.

Democrat = corrupt.

Live it.

Learn it.

Until we finally decide to do something about it.

And when the something is done, we promise to look the other way.

I thought it was illegal for a politician to own a business and hold an office at the same time. So say the Dems anyway.

He doesn’t own the company anymore. It was sold off years ago.

2banana’s Law.

Conservatives are more than happy to live under the same laws and taxes they want for everyone else.

Liberals/progressives expect to be exempted from the same laws and taxes they want for everyone else.

Yes. According to the article Wolf was no longer a shareholder as of 2015. But does he still have a financial interest in the company, such as a right to a certain percentage of the profits? Who knows?

At the very least, Pennsylvania was helping if not Wolf, then Wolf’s former business associates.

HARRISBURG — Thousands of businesses in Pennsylvania have closed under Gov. Tom Wolf’s unprecedented statewide shutdown to help slow the spread of coronavirus, but not the company that the Democratic governor once owned, or the business now owned by the Senate’s most powerful member.

Until now.

On Thursday, Wolf’s office said it had rescinded a waiver that had been issued to the governor’s former business, a kitchen and bath cabinet supply company in central Pennsylvania, after Spotlight PA and PA Post inquired about how it qualified as “life-sustaining.”

Now, that’s interesting. He evidently owns an “essential” candy factory. Thanks for the post.

“The waiver doesn’t mean anything,” Danielson said. “We didn’t need a waiver.”

To paraphrase, this should be our battle cry “Waivers? We don’t need no stinkin’ waivers!”

My beloved state where I was born ruined by a POS leftist cabinet maker. Those who voted for him can also FOAD. The Pa. GOP is also to blame.
