Governor Wolf to Post Working Calendar Online to β€˜Provide Transperency'

Gov. Tom Wolf says he'll post his working calendar online as part of his efforts to provide transparency in state government.

Wolf's office says next week's initial posting will provide a retroactive view of his activities from Jan. 21, his first day in office, through Feb. 6. After that, the postings will be weekly.

Spokesman Jeffrey Sheridan said Thursday the governor's office also will issue advisories listing events for the next day. Sheridan says the advisories will be posted daily even if no events are planned.

Wolf's policy represents a sharp departure from Republican Gov. Tom Corbett.

When The Associated Press requested Corbett's official calendar in 2013, he provided the records after a six-week wait and only after the AP won a favorable court ruling.
