HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHP) — More than one million dollars of work has been done to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s private residence in Montgomery County, but the bills have not been paid yet.

A spokesperson for the PA Treasury Department said the bills are currently being audited, but did not provide a timeline on when it would be finished.

Treasury has received payment requests for work done at the Governor’s personal residence in Montgomery County. We are currently auditing those requests and that audit is expected to conclude shortly.

The question lawmakers have surrounding that work is if it’s allowed under the Commonwealth’s procurement law.

Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee Jarrett Coleman has been looking into that question and the work. He’s issued subpoenas to the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and Abington Township.

He says the private home doesn’t meet the criteria under the state’s procurement code, which he says should only apply to property that is owned by the commonwealth.

The Procurement Code mentions public real property, or property under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth. That’s not an accident, that’s to protect taxpayers. And in this case, we are just not sure if that’s even something that should be allowed. We’re discussing it. There are multiple proposals kind of circulating in the legislature now.

Sen. Coleman says he understands that the governor needs to be protected. CBS 21 asked him if the procurement code still applies since PSP has jurisdiction to protect the governor when he’s there.

State Police have pointed to emergency provisions in the procurement code to make the argument for the work. Sen. Coleman however said that legal justification has not been provided yet.

“We haven’t had this happen where we’ve someone’s tried to use money on their personal property,” said Sen. Coleman. “And so while it’s unprecedented, this all could have been handled if the legislature would have been consulted or even the line item perhaps in a budget.”

The work that has been done to the private residence includes placing physical barriers, and changing the landscape. State Police acting commissioner Lt. Col. George Bivens in an appropriations committee hearing also said that new technology and artificial intelligence security features have been added.

Gov. Shapiro has responded to criticism of the work at his private residence multiple times that his family doesn’t want to live behind bulletproof glass.

He’s said that he’s been following the guidance of PSP. And released this statement in December:

A man wielding a hammer, carrying Molotov cocktails smashed into the governor’s residence, tried to burn me and my family to death, and this man tried to hunt me down with a metal hammer to beat me to death while I was asleep. That’s what happened here in Pennsylvania, and that guy’s behind bars for up to 50 years. Following that and the obvious failures that occurred from a security standpoint, PSP went through a long review of all of our different safety and security protocols, conducted a review to make recommendations on how to ensure my family and I are safe, whether we’re at the governor’s residence or at our home in Montgomery County. And then the state police and the Department of General Services went about implementing all of those recommendations to keep us safe.It is a shame that we live in a world where people who want to serve the public are targeted. I’m not the only one. You’ve seen just in the last year President Trump targeted in Butler, Speaker Hortman targeted at her home and killed in her home in Minnesota.You know, the changes that have been made to the governor’s residence and out home are not things that, like, we were looking for. No one wants to live behind bullet-proof glass. No parent wants to have to explain that to their kids. I want to be able to go in the back yard and have a catch with my kid and not have to be on cameras all the time while I do that. I’m not complaining – I asked to do this work . I asked to do this work for all of you, and I’m gonna keep doing it, but this is a sad reality of the world we’re in. It’s why I’ve tried to be so outspoken about political violence.
