John Fetterman has kept a light schedule as lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, a sticking point as he fiercely battles Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz for the Senate, records show.
As he touts his record of tinkering with the office on the campaign trail, records indicate that Fetterman frequently kept a light schedule during his stewardship of the $179,000-a-year post. About one-third of his daily schedule for workdays between January 2019 to May 2022 was left blank, according to a review by the Associated Press."Not showing up for work was No Show Fetterman's trademark as Lieutenant Governor AND as Mayor of Braddock.
Fetterman suffered a stroke in May, which he claims nearly killed him and left him straddled with a speech impairment. But the review assessed his schedule prior to the stroke. Outgoing Gov. Tom Wolf similarly defended Fetterman, contending that while the lieutenant governor has “limited responsibilities,” Fetterman was “a dedicated public servant who has supported my priorities over the past four years.”
"Give me a break. I’m not going to be lectured about 'showing up' by someone who: Just showed up in PA last year to run for office. Hasn’t even been to all 67 counties. Is LITERALLY in California today raising money from billionaires," Fetterman shot back to Oz on Twitter.- Just showed up in PA last year to run for office- Is LITERALLY in California today raising money from billionaires https://t.
