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On Thursday, Wolf’s office said it had rescinded a waiver that had been issued to the governor’s former business, a kitchen and bath cabinet supply company in central Pennsylvania, after Spotlight PA and PA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.
