Gebhard, Phillips-Hill Join Treasurer Stacy Garrity to Highlight Efforts to Stop Government Waste
Posted on September 16, 2026
HARRISBURG -- Sens. Chris Gebhard (R-48) and Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-28) joined Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity today to highlight efforts to safeguard taxpayers' hard-earned money by addressing waste and further mitigating improper payments made by state government.
"Far too often, state government fails taxpayers as good stewards of their tax dollars,with historically high improper payment rates here in Pennsylvania," said Gebhard. "With every dollar spent by the state coming from the hard-working people of Pennsylvania, we need to do better and provide more transparency to protect the taxpayer's money. I'm thankful to be working alongside both State Treasurer Garrity and Sen. Phillips-Hill to combat wasteful spending by this administration."
Gebhard and Phillips-Hill will introduce legislation that will require each commonwealth agency to perform a review and assessment of each program that is not already subject to the federal Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 to determine which programs are vulnerable to improper payments. An improper payment, as defined by federal law going back to 2002, includes any overpayment, underpayment or payment to ineligible recipients.
"At a minimum, we must hold state government to the same level of responsibility which we hold ourselves to in our own personal finances," Phillips-Hill said. "There is no reason today that our government should be improperly spending nearly a billion dollars every year. The hardworking people of Pennsylvania would not tolerate this in their home, and I certainly will not stand for it here in Harrisburg."
Additionally, each agency would be required to perform this assessment every two years, and the secretary of the budget would be required to provide a publicly accessible website with detailed information on each agency's improper payment assessment.
"Every Pennsylvania taxpayer deserves to know exactly how their hard-earned money is being spent, and I commend Sens. Gebhard and Phillips-Hill for their commitment to increasing government transparency," said Treasurer Garrity. "I've prioritized expanding access to our state's financial data, and with Treasury's newly implemented Payment Production and Improper Payments Report, Pennsylvanians have more tools than ever before to hold their government accountable, and this legislation will ensure that the Treasury will continue to share these details going forward."
During today's event, Treasurer Garrity announced that in fiscal year 2025-26, Treasury prevented $1.4 billion in improper payments, providing taxpayers with more than $75 million in savings. Full details can be found in the newly released Payment Production and Improper Payments Report presented by Treasury. By posting this updated report, along with a version highlighting savings for fiscal year 2024-25, on its government transparency website, OpenBookPA, Treasurer Garrity demonstrates her commitment to identifying overpayments, duplicate payments, and incorrect payees -- helping to protect Pennsylvania taxpayers.

Northern Valley Yokut/Costanoan Tribe and California State Parks Formalize Collaboration with Signing Memorandum of Understanding
ALAMEDA-TESLA PROPERTY -- The Northern Valley Yokut/Costanoan Tribe (NVYT) and State Parks signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Sept. 5 for the parks within NVYT's ancestral territory. The signing took place at the Alameda-Tesla Property, where NVYT and State Parks are coordinating to identifynatural and cultural resources for conservation and protection once the state park is officially designated and opened.
"NVYT appreciates State Parks for recognizing that our Ancestors lived on this land for centuries and ensuring we continue to have opportunities to practice and revitalize our culture and traditions," said Tribal Chairperson Perez.
"This MOU is a formal connection of deep time to the present; it provides formal recognition of Tribal presence that has always been," reflected State Parks Director Armando Quintero.
The MOU formalizes the relationship between NVYT and State Parks, which includes collaboration on protecting natural and cultural resources, interpretation and education, and ongoing park planning and resource management. This includes the protection of cultural resources at Dos Rios, Marsh Creek State Park, Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area, and collaboration on the floodplain restoration at Great Valley Grasslands State Park.
In addition, it facilitates Tribal Member access to the parks within the MOU, supporting NVYT in gathering traditional plants, practicing traditional ecological knowledge, and accessing the parks for cultural and ceremonial purposes. Cooperation between NVYT and State Parks will facilitate co-development of interpretative materials and ecological stewardship. The MOU facilitates both parties supporting grant applications and working together to identify funding opportunities for projects in the parks of the MOU.
This agreement supports Governor Gavin Newsom's Statement of Administration Policy on Native American Ancestral Lands, which encourages state entities to seek opportunities to support California tribes' co-management of and access to natural lands that are within a California tribe's ancestral land and under the ownership or control of the State of California.
This is the 17th MOU between State Parks and a California Native American tribe.

GOVERNOR GREEN LAUDS TOP STATE MANAGER, EMPLOYEE AND TEAM OF THE YEAR
September 15, 2026
HONOLULU -- Governor Josh Green today recognized winners of the 49th annual Governor's Awards, designed to honor state Executive Branch employees, managers and teams who exemplify the highest caliber of public service and dedication in serving the people of Hawai'i. The statewide program is administered by the Department of Human Resources Development.
"Public employees make remarkable contributions everyday, strengthening how our state serves the people of Hawai'i," said Governor Green. "This year's honorees reflect that commitment and we are grateful to stand alongside individuals and teams whose work brings meaningful change to our communities."
Governor Green presented the awards for:
* STATE MANAGER OF THE YEAR: Dr. Darren Lerner, Director of Research Institute, University of Hawai'i
Dr. Lerner is commended for his visionary leadership, innovative program development and unwavering commitment to advance community-centered coastal resilience throughout Hawai'i and the Pacific. Under his leadership, the University of Hawai'i Sea Grant College Program has become a national model for integrating cutting-edge coastal research with meaningful public service. His service spans across Hawai'i and the nation, including directing the Pacific Islands Climate Adaption Science Center and serving as Interim Associate Dean for Research in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. Prioritizing workforce development, he developed specialized fellowships that train and foster the next generation of local coastal leaders. National reviewers recognized his mentorship as a best management practice model for building engaged, interdisciplinary teams.
* STATE EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR: Jessica Chambers, Registered Nurse, Department of Health
Jessica is recognized for her exemplary leadership, dedication and exceptional performance in advancing the objectives of the Office of Health Care Assurance. Under her leadership, program efficiency increased by over 300%. Application processing times were significantly reduced, leading to the opening of new Adult Residential Care Homes at a rate that surpassed closures, bringing the statewide total to over 500 homes, an accomplishment not seen in over a decade. This exceptional turnaround also generated meaningful cost savings for the state and allowed other staff to redirect their time toward critical priorities. These achievements clearly demonstrate her profound impact on the program and the community she serves.
* STATE TEAM OF THE YEAR: Finance Branch of the Hawai'i Housing Finance and Development Corporation, Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism
Through dedication, innovation and collaboration, this team has made significant contributions to making homeownership attainable for our kama'aina. Such as awarding funds through key housing finance programs for the construction of 1,836 new affordable homes that will directly address Hawai'i's housing crisis and successfully re-launched the Hale Kama'aina Mortgage Program, which provides below-market mortgage loans and down payment assistance. Despite an increase in affordable housing applications, their team strengthened underwriting standards that resulted in $28 million in savings, enabling financing for about 130 additional affordable homes. Through their judicious stewardship of public resources, they stretched each dollar to enable more housing to be developed.
"These award winners exemplify exceptional service to Hawaii," said Governor Green. "Their dedication, innovation and aloha uplift our residents, expand opportunities and enhance well-being across the islands, embodying the true essence of public service."
The three winners were selected from 60 exceptional groups and individual nominees. A volunteer selection committee of five prominent members of the community carefully reviewed the 60 nomination packets and rated them according to defined categories. The committee presented its recommendations for the three awards to Governor Green.
The five members of this year's Selection Committee are: Goodwill Hawai'i President and CEO Katy Chen; City and County of Honolulu Department of Customer Service Deputy Director Megan Johnson; Board of Water Supply Deputy Manager Erwin Kawata; Hawaii News Now news anchor and reporter Stephanie Lum; and Chamber of Commerce Hawai'i President and CEO Sherry Menor.

Civil Rights Department Takes Burger King Franchisee, After School Program Operator to Court for Failure to Report Workforce Data
September 16, 2026
State uses data to help identify pay gaps in the workplace
-
SACRAMENTO - The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) today announced taking legal action against California Food Management, LLC and Coast 2 Coast Coaching, Inc. over the companies' alleged failure to report pay and demographic data to the state. Despite repeatedwarnings, the companies missed multiple legally required deadlines to submit pay data reports, which help the state identify pay gaps and potential discrimination in the workplace.
"Every year, workers nationwide lose out on billions of dollars because of factors like their gender or race," said CRD Director Kevin Kish. "We can't solve the problem by burying our heads in the sand. California's pay data reporting program helps make sure we have the latest information we need to identify and address potential pay discrimination in our state. These companies have been repeatedly warned. Now, we're going to court to ensure compliance with our state's pay data reporting laws."
California Stays the Course
While the federal government has taken steps to end national workforce data collection, California continues to require large companies to report pay and demographic data. The state's pay data reporting program is part of a broader effort to encourage employers to conduct self-assessments of pay disparities, promote voluntary compliance with equal pay and anti-discrimination laws, and efficiently identify wage patterns and effectively enforce civil rights laws in the workplace. By helping employers and the state clearly identify the challenge, the pay data reporting program can help drive action to address it.
Show Us the Receipts
California's pay data reporting law requires large employers to provide information on the number of employees by race, ethnicity, and sex in certain job categories and by annual earnings on a yearly basis. Despite these requirements and repeated warnings from CRD, California Food Management, LLC and Coast 2 Coast Coaching, Inc. allegedly failed to comply with the state's legally mandated reporting requirements over multiple years.
California Food Management, LLC operates dozens of Burger King restaurants across Southern California and Coast 2 Coast Coaching, Inc., which does business as Elevo, employs thousands of workers to primarily run after school sports programs. As part of the legal action announced today, CRD is seeking court orders to require the companies to submit the missing data and impose civil penalties of as much as $200 per employee.
Committed to Fair Pay
CRD continues to tackle pay and related forms of discrimination across the state, including through ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with the state's pay data reporting program. Earlier this year, the department released new data showing ongoing pay disparities by race and gender among large private employers in the state. The state also reached a settlement with the Pleasanton Unified School District after the alleged illegal firing of a pregnant custodian. In 2024, the department secured a $15 million settlement with Snapchat to resolve a more than three-year investigation over claims of employment discrimination, equal pay violations, sexual harassment, and retaliation. In 2023, CRD obtained a nearly $100,000 settlement against Cambrian Homecare, a Long Beach-based company that provides in-home care services, to resolve repeated alleged failures to report pay data to the state.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of discrimination, CRD may be able to assist you through its complaint process (https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/). The department also provides general information and factsheets online (https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/Posters/) about civil rights protections for members of the public, including with respect to employment discrimination. You can go to the state's pay data reporting page (https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/paydatareporting/) to learn more about the program.
You can learn more by reading the petition to compel against California Food Management, LLC (https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2026/09/CRD-v-CA-Food-Management-LLC_26STCP03492_Filed.2026.09.14.pdf) and Coast 2 Coast Coaching, Inc. (https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2026/09/CRD-v-Coast-2-Coast-Coaching-Inc._26CU048804C_Filed.2026.09.14.pdf)

The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) is the state agency charged with enforcing California's civil rights laws. CRD's mission is to protect the people of California from unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and state-funded programs and activities, and from hate violence and human trafficking.
