Hospital Repair Professionals: Let Us Fix Life-saving Devices, Ventilators

In an open letter to Governor Wolf delivered by PennPIRG and signed by 518 hospital repair experts, a plea was made for manufacturers to stop withholding what technicians need to fix medical equipment including ventilators. The effort is part of PennPIRG’s Right to Repair Campaign, which aims to remove unnecessary barriers to repair that drive up costs for product owners and increase electronic waste.

Every dollar in the Treasury comes from the hard work of Pennsylvania taxpayers. Pennsylvanians need to trust that their money will be managed with fairness and integrity, uncompromised by conflicts of interest, political affiliation, favoritism, or other unfair considerations. Under my administration, the days of needing to know someone to do business with Treasury will be over.

We can and should do much better.

I am disappointed but not surprised that PSERS is once again taking this unfortunate approach to resist transparency. Pennsylvania law is clear: @SenatorMuth and all PSERS board members have an absolute right to review documents to perform their fiduciary duty.

Promises to consistently “beat the market” (for a hefty fee) are modern day snake oil. Doesn’t work in the long run, and last year’s results don’t predict next year’s. Those truths won’t ever stop some managers from spreading the lie that *they* have the special sauce.

I fired them because they don't work well for taxpayers. Hedge funds add a needless level of complexity, fees, and--as we’ve now seen again--risk. In fact, tons of research shows the only people that hedge funds consistently work well for are the hedge fund managers themselves.
