Pa. governor-elect raises $1.5M for Tuesday’s inauguration

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Labor unions and corporations are among the biggest contributors to Tom Wolf’s inauguration celebration.

Information posted on Wolf’s inauguration website showed contributions totaling $1.5 million as of mid-afternoon Thursday - the first of two dates on which he promised to disclose large contributions in an effort make his fundraising transparent.

Donors that gave the $50,000 maximum include AFSCME Council 13, Pennsylvania’s largest state-employee union, and the Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association. Also in that group are communications giant Comcast Corp.; New Jersey-based First Quality Enterprises, which makes disposable diapers; Independence Blue Cross; and the Wolf Organization, the family business Wolf left to run for governor.

The inauguration is Tuesday. The other round of disclosures will be March 30.
