What Josh Shapiro’s transition team says about how he’ll govern, and why some picks are raising eyebrows
WHYY, 12/20/22: “The transition team helping governor-elect Josh Shapiro prepare for office is wide-ranging and, in some cases, controversial, offering a glimpse into the way he hopes to govern the commonwealth and court members of the GOP in the legislature.
The team of nearly 300 people includes lobbyists, activists, attorneys, executives, and former elected officials, and not all are obvious choices for a Democratic administration. There are, for instance, policing advocates who want more aggressive law enforcement, people seen as hostile to public education, and a number of prominent Republicans.
But there are also prison abolitionists, public education activists, patient advocates, and progressive labor organizers.”
