In Pennsylvania, the Corbett-Cawley campaign today drew attention to Secretary Tom Wolf’s refusal to take a position on the issues affecting the 12 million-plus residents of Pennsylvania. Wolf has repeatedly engaged in a pattern of conduct where he refuses to comment or takes extremely vague positions when asked questions that any candidate for office would be expected to answer.
“Millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf has repeatedly said he would answer any questions that were asked of him, but it appears that was just a campaign talking point,” stated Corbett-Cawley Communications Director Chris Pack. “Secretary Wolf is not being asked unreasonable questions by the media – he is simply being asked questions that any governor would be expected to answer. It is time for Wolf to stop hiding behind his millions of dollars in slick television ads bankrolled by liberal billionaire Tom Steyer and actually tell the 12.7 million people of Pennsylvania where he stands.”

“[Wolf] took some questions from the press, starting with some humor, while remaining non-committal on several issues.”
“He wouldn't discuss exactly what his budget would look like.”
“While Wolf acknowledges the need for reform, he was vague on his solution.”
“Wolf was less specific when asked about pension reform.”
“But he did not elaborate on how the state would balance its pension books.”
“Wolf said he was open to a number of solutions to strengthen the state pension system, although he did not specify them.”
“When asked about [Governor] Corbett’s ad on Wolf's denial of pension problems, Tom Wolf would not go into specifics on how he would fix the system.”
“When faced with inevitable PA budget questions, Wolf refused, despite insistent questioning, to state whether he would veto the budget that is currently sitting on Gov. Corbett’s desk.”
“Yet [Tom Wolf’s] campaign was silent on the new EPA rule, as a spokesman didn’t return a message seeking comment.”
“Corbett's Democratic opponent in November, Tom Wolf, offered a measured response...”
“The Wolf campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.”
“Wolf sidestepped a question about whether he supports another proposal pending as lawmakers rush to finish up before leaving Harrisburg for the summer…”
Reporter: “Do you have a specific plan?”
Wolf: “I am going to look at a lot of innovative plans.”
“He won the support of Democrats but he'll now have to get into more policy specifics to win over independent voters who want to know what he'd do in office.”
Reporter: “You don't like this budget, do you?
Wolf: "I don't."
Reporter: “But you're not prepared to say you would veto it?”
Wolf: “I'm prepared to say if I were governor and this were the choice I would be given, I would be very disappointed in myself.”
“The Wolf campaign, however, perhaps eager to allow the Republican infighting to continue unabated, declined to respond to the attack.”
