HARRISBURG — The message is loud and clear on Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman’s transparency webpage: “It’s Your Money.”
Before diving into his own taxpayer-paid salary and expenses, the Centre County Republican offers something of a pledge: “I believe that transparency in state spending is crucial to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent as wisely and efficiently as possible.”
“This page,” he declares, “is designed to help make basic spending information easily accessible.”
The problem: The page hasn’t been updated in over six years.
