Re: Shapiro Refuses to Sign Death Warrants
"Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro's appearance with a longtime campaign donor at a Philadelphia 76ers game last month has raised an unexpected question: When is a gift to a public official not a gift?
Manuel Bonder, a spokesperson for Shapiro's transition who now works for the administration, said the pre-inauguration outing was a "political meeting." He didn't expand on that or say who paid for it.
But the tickets, which easily cost $3,000 a piece, put on full display the muddy interplay of Pennsylvania's lax campaign finance and government ethics laws, which are largely self-policed and very access-friendly.
Shapiro's companion that evening was Philadelphia lawyer Darren Check, two sources told Spotlight PA. Check gave nearly $70,000 to Shapiro's gubernatorial run, $34,000 as in-kind contributions.
Shapiro's office is treating the 76ers game as an in-kind contribution, too, a designation some * but not all * observers question.
Free tickets to sporting and other events are more often than not disclosed on annual statements of financial interest that require public officials to describe the gift and provide details on who gave it and its value.
In-kind contributions are reported on campaign finance reports but usually lack specifics on what goods or services were bought."

Little Joshie's message to Trump: "Stop shit-talking America"
Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump should stop “shit-talking” the United States.
Discussing voters, Shapiro said, “They want to be led by someone who is honest and decent — someone who’s actually on their side like Joe Biden. All they hear from Donald Trump is a whole bunch of whining about this country. And I think Donald Trump’s got to quit whining, go to quit trying to divide us. I mean, consider this, Jen. We’re producing more energy than anyone before in this nation. We have the strongest economy in the world and we are beating China for the first time in decades. More people went to work this morning in America than any other time in our nation’s history.”
He added, “So, I got a message to Donald Trump and all of his negativity and whining: stop shit-talking America. This is the greatest country on Earth and it’s time that we all start acting like it. The good people of Pennsylvania understand that this is a great country, understand that we got a whole lot going for us. And not it’s time for us to continue this path of progress that Joe Biden has laid out and not go back to a negative time, not listen to the whining of the former president, and instead, focus on a positive future for all of us.”
