PA: Acting Secretary Of Health And Deputy Don’t Testify At Contact Tracing Data Breach Hearing

Posted on May 12, 2021 by Dissent

Meghan Schiller reports:

t’s a battle between transparency and legal quagmire: who should answer questions about the data breach of private health information for some 70,000 Pennsylvanians?

KDKA’s Meghan Schiller talked to one local state senator who tried to get the conversation started but said it ended in silence.

“It’s great to ask questions that no one answers. So, there’s no feedback, there’s no back and forth. It was awful,” said state Senator Pat Stefano.

Sen. Stefano tells KDKA’s Meghan Schiller it’s hard to get the information and data if the people who should have it refuse to show up.
