 two weeks ago today Tom Wolfe became governor and he promised a fresh start but when it comes to accessibility and visibility even his political opponents have to concede he's delivered I Thomas Westerman Wolf I Thomas Westerman Wolf he was sworn in two weeks ago and promptly signed a gift bank he's also met with moms with sick kids pushing medical marijuana and LGBT activists and lawmakers he pops into their offices unannounced and has invited them to the governor's residence Wolf told me he enjoys meeting people and it's in his job description I think it's part of what you're supposed to do if you're a public servant political leader you're trying to get people together to convince them and and that that's really what this job is definitely two different approaches correction secretary John Wetzel was hired by the last time kept by the current Tom governor Wolf I would say that the buzzphrase would be accessible Wolf sent a letter to every state agency Tuesday praising the liquor control board and turnpike commission for adopting gift bands like his and encouraging them all to do the same he's also living up to his band was walking around the Capitol yesterday and ran into somebody who was wanted to give me a calendar I can't take the calendars but I didn't want to insult her so I said well I'll make a contribution so cost me a dollar fifty for the calendar and even Republicans are praising Wolf's approachability two weeks in obviously a little early to tell to make any real judgments but he's been very visible he's been very communicative and I think that that's it's good I think it's important for him to reach out I think it's important for us to work in a bipartisan fashion the governor is trying to forge relationships before the fight over that two billion dollar deficit begins we're gonna disagree on policies we'll have plenty of time to argue over those things but when we're not doing that we can at least sit down and break bread together it's been enjoyable for two weeks was two weeks but very enjoyable critics do say if there was one misstep it was ticking off Senate Republicans with a blanket rejection of Corbett nominees to boards and commissions and the office of open records good note over there though right now it sounds like let's hope that sticks around
