Gov. Tom Wolf on Jan. 23 said the state government is working to mitigate the impacts of the partial shutdown of the federal government, which entered its second month.

“My administration is doing everything that it can to help those impacted by this situation,” Wolf said. “Agencies across state government are working with local officials and organizations that rely on federal funding. We are temporarily using state funds to fill the gaps where we can. We are working to assist affected workers however we can. I urge businesses and creditors to show compassion for federal employees that are not being paid.”
