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."
