Disappearing Details from Pa. Senate Records

Original expense record

Two expenses for $147.42 each were originally described in detail as van rentals for staff

to videotape events related to the 2017 Farm Show and a press conference with Sen. Art Haywood (D., Phila.) on President Donald Trump’s nomination of U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions to

U.S. attorney general.

Altered expense record

When The Caucus and Spotlight PA received the expense again, the details were removed — showing only that the charges were for “other transportation expenses.”
