Reply to comment by kellyb1985 in Did PA governor’s trip to Super Bowl violate gift ban? by Regular-Host-1791

The part that got me was the legislative folks had a $500 limit. The standard commonwealth employee under Wolf couldn't accept a bottle of water, pen or a calendar.

Now tell me, who has more power in the state system. The folks who vote on how the laws are made or the guy sweeping the floor?

The executive branch doesn’t have the ability to establish a policy for legislative staffers. Also worth noting that the $500 threshold isn’t a limit on receiving gifts, it’s the threshold for having to report receiving a gift.
