Boyle (PA-13) released the following statement in response to Pennsylvania State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale’s findings regarding the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA): “It is painfully clear that sweeping and immediate changes must begin at the PPA and they must start at the top with Chairman Joseph Ashdale’s resignation or removal,” said Congressman Boyle. “These latest findings by Auditor General DePasquale leave no doubt that, under Chairman Ashdale’s leadership, the Philadelphia Parking Authority allowed a sexual harasser to continue as its executive director. This broken culture of demeaning and degrading women is beyond comprehension for any reasonable person. There must be consequences for his disgraceful leadership.” “The handling of sexual harassment complaints against the former executive director boggles the mind on so many levels,” said Auditor General DePasquale. “I would have fired him on the spot once the investigation confirmed the accusations and he admitted it." # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
