The Democratic governor’s decision to withhold details about who he meets behind the scenes is legally sound, though experts said he could choose to reveal more.
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is declining to make public his daily calendar, a policy that obscures many of the details about who he meets with and what they discuss.
Bonder added that the office is following relevant open records rulings, and “will continue to balance personal safety and security with a high level of transparency.” “The Right-to-Know Law still allows the governor to release these records,” Melewsky said. “He’s choosing not to.” Citing Commonwealth Court cases from 2012 and 2014 involving officials from Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Department of State, respectively, the OORAllan Blutstein, the America Rising senior vice president who requested Shapiro’s schedule, acknowledged that he did so for political reasons. The organization routinely requests Democratic governors’ calendars, especially early in their tenures, he told Spotlight PA.
In their argument for not sharing calendars, Shapiro’s attorneys also said the documents contain information about personal medical appointments and identifying information about minors , as well as information about his location that could compromise his safety.
