HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf’s personal touch doesn’t always get him very far.
The second-year Democrat likes to dial his own phone calls, but is finding that it occasionally gets him hung up on by a disbelieving receptionist. Such has been the case lately when he called for his community and economic development secretary and a Democratic state lawmaker.

Press secretary Jeff Sheridan says that’s what prompted an email to government agencies that was first reported by the Philadelphia Daily News. The email asked that switchboard operators not hang up on anyone “claiming to be Tom Wolf.”
