govwolf2Read Governor Wolf’s inaugural address here. Here is an excerpt:

“More than anything, I want to thank all Pennsylvanians who worked so hard to get me here, and those who took a chance to vote for a different kind of leader.

I am not a product of our political system.
During my campaign, I pledged to be a different kind of governor, and I will keep that promise.

This age—and this time—demands nothing less.
We are told that we are living through a transformational era.
