Shapp’s mixed record cited in Pennsylvanian critique
In a critical view of Gov. Milton Shapp, the piece argues his administrative skills are weak while highlighting a clash among state agencies. It notes the Commerce Department’s Industrial Revenue Bond program has issued over $5 billion in loans since 1967 to about 3,500 deals, often for questionable ventures like indoor tennis clubs and clinics. The tax-exempt loans, subsidized by taxpayers, contrast with the Community Affairs Department’s efforts to protect municipal tax bases. The article accuses agencies of operating at cross purposes, undermining public good, with unified leadership lacking under the governor.
