One year after the arson attack on the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion, The Philadelphia Inquirer was granted to a tour of the property. They published an article today detailing the $33 million in security upgrades at the mansion and the private Abington Township home of Governor Josh Shapiro.

First Lady Lori Shapiro posted the following on Thursday:
