Tom Wolf poised to take inaugural oath as Pennsylvania's 47th governor

Former businessman Tom Wolf is poised to be sworn in as Pennsylvania's 47th governor in a ceremony at the state Capitol in Harrisburg.


Wolf is slated to be sworn in at noon Tuesday.


He was the only Democrat nationally to unseat a sitting Republican governor in the Nov. 4 election, crushing Gov. Tom Corbett's re-election bid with nearly 55 percent of the vote.


Wolf's running mate, Pa. Sen. Mike Stack of Philadelphia, will take his oath as lieutenant governor in an earlier Senate ceremony. Stack will give up his Senate seat, but his new duties include serving as the Senate's presiding officer.


Post-inaugural events include an art show at the Pennsylvania State Museum and a $100-a-ticket inaugural bash at the Hershey Lodge.
