Candidate positionPolicyRoot Out Fraud, Waste, and Abuse in State Government – Josh Shapiro once claimed state government is riddled with $3 billion in fraud. Instead of addressing fraud as Attorney General, he focused on increasing state spending as Governor – raising the risk of even more waste. Taxpayers deserve better. The Garrity–Richey Administration will require reform plans before funding is approved; audit state agencies from top to bottom; identify and eliminate waste and fraud; hold bad actors accountable; and use savings to reduce the deficit and lower the burden on taxpayers.
