Pennsylvania Senate Panel Subpoenas Records on Shapiro’s $1 Million Home Upgrades

The move seeks greater disclosure around taxpayer-funded security work at the governor’s private residence following the Harrisburg mansion attack.

Overview

  • The GOP-led Intergovernmental Operations Committee voted 7–4 to issue three subpoenas to the Pennsylvania State Police, Abington Township, and charter firm Let’s Go Air, Inc.
  • Requests include a May 2025 independent security assessment, contracts, invoices, communications, and police body-camera footage from Sept. 20 to Nov. 19 related to work at the Abington home.
  • Abington Township was ordered to produce communications, permits, applications, and hearing transcripts, while Let’s Go Air must provide records of charter flights from Jan. 14–16.
  • The subpoenas set a compliance deadline of noon on Jan. 16, 2026.
  • Republicans cite months of incomplete responses and seek oversight of executive security spending; Democrats object to the inquiry as a fishing expedition, while the governor’s office says improvements followed expert reviews after the April firebombing that also led to $32 million in mansion repairs and roughly $1 million at the private residence.
