Gov. Tom Wolf urging Pennsylvania's independent boards to ban gifts to employees

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is urging more than two dozen independent state commissions, authorities and other agencies to ban gifts to their employees.


The governor's office said letters to each of the agencies were going out Tuesday.


The Democrat signed an executive order on Jan. 20, his first day in office, barring the acceptance of gifts to all employees of the executive branch. Like the pre-existing code, it has an exception for gifts given by friends or relatives.


Since then, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission have both adopted similar bans.


Wolf said other independent agencies should follow suit.
