Pennsylvania State Police revealed the details after a Right-to-Know request from Spotlight PA.

Drafts seek documents from the State Police describing construction, landscaping, and other security-related work at Shapiro’s family home.

Administration officials also disclosed safety upgrades totaling $32.3 million at the governor’s official residence in Harrisburg.

Two insurance plans cover the residence, but it’s unknown if they’ve covered anything already or how much will ultimately be covered.

The whistleblower also alleges that top aging department officials purposely suppressed or manipulated data when responding to Spotlight PA’s public records requests.

The Department of Aging pointed to a new system to monitor whether counties are conducting quality abuse and neglect investigations.

The Shapiro administration has yet to say just how much repairing and upgrading the Harrisburg residence will cost after a brazen arson attack.
