Shapp to Fight Subpoena for Tax Records in Court
Gov. Shapp said he will ask Commonwealth Court to block a House committee subpoena for his 1966 to 1973 income tax records. He will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. to release details of his finances while defending citizens privacy and public right to know. The GOP committee, chaired by Rep.
