State Representative David Maloney announced on May 13 that a recent story has highlighted issues within the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) regarding executive compensation. The report focuses on a PGC human resources executive who was banned from entering PGC offices but continued to receive full pay for years, along with annual salary increases typically tied to performance.
The matter is significant because it raises questions about oversight and accountability in public agencies. Concerns have been raised over the appropriateness of awarding salary increases under such circumstances.
“For Christine Worley to get this kind of preferential treatment is despicable,” Maloney said. “For Gov. Josh Shapiro to continue to stand by and calls into question his ability to lead.”
Maloney serves as the Republican chairman for the House Game and Fisheries Committee, according to the official website. He represents several Berks County communities, including Alsace and Colebrookdale townships as well as Bally and Boyertown boroughs, according to the official website.
Maloney supports initiatives such as eliminating property taxes, protecting children through background checks for those working with youth, fostering private sector jobs, safeguarding property rights, promoting conservation efforts, establishing First Responders Day on September 27, requiring schools to report known child abuse cases, and mandating display of the POW/MIA flag on state properties—all reflecting his priorities as stated by the official website.
Broader implications may arise if similar practices are found elsewhere in state government or if further scrutiny leads to changes in oversight procedures.
