LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL MUSINGS

Dec 12, 2025

Jarrett Coleman, Pa. Watchdog

When it comes to the taxpayer's money in Pennsylvania, only one elected official out of one of the largest statehouses in the country seems to care. Jarrett Coleman started the initiative to have a real audit of Allentown's NIZ, and the roadblocks put in his way have been endless.

He likewise is now looking into a $mil spend on security in Josh Shapiro's private residence. That expense apparently was buried with the repairs to the governor's mansion in Harrisburg, which was victimized by an arsonist attack last year.

As a political independent and blogger concerning myself with government shenanigans, I don't have a rapport with many politicians... Coleman is an exception.

I'm not here to be polite or popular

  1. Senator Coleman has now survived three incidents that would have overwhelmed most mortal men:
    1. He is a republican.
    2. He is a former Jet Blue pilot.
    3. He has rapport with Molovinsky.
    Who says there is No G-d?

    1. anon@6:58: I hope your third revelation doesn't hurt him, his party, at least locally, seems to put loyalty above all else.

  2. I suspect that in this day and age security of our citizen servants is required, especially since he and his family have already been attacked. I don’t begrudge the Governor this cost, especially since we have a president who, in his own words, “can shoot someone on 5th Avenue.”

  3. As Coleman said, upgrades to taxpayer funded residence in Harrisburg that was attacked is reasonable.

    But upgrading a separate private real estate property more than 100 miles away is not only wrong but seems to be an impeachable offense. The gov is clearly receiving a pecuniary gain. And it appears the governor went to the ethics commission after the fact which also seems rhetorical ethics opinion invalid. Are we watching the downfall of Shapiro?

    Any chance you could publish the full article so we can see?

    1. anon@7:44: You can simply google the topic, it was reported in several venues.
      Coleman is interested in accountability for taxpayer dollars, not just bringing someone "down" because he is with the other party.

  4. What the heck? Did you start the weekend early?

    There has to be some way you can blame Shapiro’s use of taxpayer dollars for his personal benefit on, you know, TRUMP!

    Or hasn’t MSNBC and CNN made the connection for you yet?
