Rep. David Maloney said on May 13 that a Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) human resources executive was banned from entering PGC offices but continued to receive full pay and annual salary increases over several years.
The issue concerns Christine Worley, who reportedly remained at home with pay despite being barred from the workplace, raising questions about oversight and accountability within the commission. Maloney said this situation highlights problems in state government management.
“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 Republican chairman for the House Game and Fisheries Committee, according to the official website. He represents various Berks County communities, including townships like Alsace and Colebrookdale as well as boroughs such as Bally and Boyertown, according to the official website.
He also supports allowing public schools to host hunter education courses and has championed legislation establishing September 27 as First Responders Day while mandating display of the POW/MIA flag on state properties, according to the official website. In addition, he prioritizes initiatives such as eliminating property taxes, protecting children—including advocating for background checks for those working with children—and fostering private sector jobs, safeguarding property rights, promoting conservation efforts, and requiring schools to report known child abuse, according to the official website.
The situation involving Worley continues to prompt scrutiny of employment practices at state agencies.
