Stack, wife are subject of probe by state Wolf orders investigation of claims lieutenant governor verbally abused staff Charles Thompson cthompson@pennlive.com
The state Office of Inspector General is investigating Lt. Gov. Mike Stack and his wife. Stack’s office issued a statement Monday confirming a state probe into what it called “staffing issues.” News outlets had reported that Inspector General Bruce Beemer’s staff was looking into potential verbal abuse by Stack and his wife, Tonya, toward staff at the State House at Fort Indiantown Gap, where the lieutenant governor lives. A source familiar with the probe but not authorized to discuss it publicly also confirmed to PennLive/The Patriot-News the OIG probe was requested by Gov. Tom Wolf. The existence of the probe was first reported by LancasterOnline. A report by WHTM-TV also referenced alleged requests made to members of Stack’s state police security detail to take extraordinary steps to beat traffic in what troopers felt were nonemergency situations. Stack, of Philadelphia, was not in his Capitol office Monday, a nonsession day for the Legislature. The lieutenant governor, among other constitutional duties, presides over the state Senate. “We are in receipt of a letter from the Inspector General regarding staffing SEE STACK, A2

Most came from other states, but some foreign-born people also migrated to the Keystone State. Overall, though, Pennsylvania saw a negative net migration: 10,887 more people left Pennsylvania in 2015 than came here, according to U.S. Census Data. To gain a better understanding of where people are migrating from, we give you the top 15 states that have sent the most people to Pennsylvania. We culled the list from tax return data provided by the Internal Revenue Service. NEW JERSEY

The northeastern corridor of Pennsylvania and its relatively lower housing prices have in recent years attracted thousands of new residents from its neighboring state. New Jersey in 2015 lost 11,846 residents to Pennsylvania. Residents of the Big Apple might love New York, but that doesn’t deter them from leaving and flocking to Pennsylvania. In 2015, 11,063 New Yorkers crossed the state line to Pennsylvania.
Apparently the white sandy beaches of Fiesta Key beach (Sarasota, Fla.) — No. 2 on the list of best beaches for the summer of 2016 — isn’t enough to keep Floridians put. The southeasternmost state in 2015 sent 5,690 residents packing for Pennsylvania. Parts of York County have in recent years seen such a substantial tide of transplants from PennSEE NEWCOMERS, A2
Video of man being dragged off flight sparks turbulence Passengers involuntarily bumped have rights From staff and wire reports
A viral video of a United Airlines passenger being forcibly dragged from his plane seat may leave you wondering what your rights are if you’re involuntarily bumped from your flight. The video, which was first posted on Facebook, shows the shocked faces of other passengers on the Chicago flight as police unbuckle the man’s seat belt and dragged him down the aisle, causing him to bump his head. The airline spent Monday putting out a public relations fire as a result of the actions, which stemmed from United’s sold more seats on the flight than it had available. A spokesman for the airline insisted that employees had no choice but to contact authorities to remove the man. As the flight waited to depart from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, officers could be SEE BUMPED, A18
