--- Quote --- Neighbors of Gov. Josh Shapiro’s Montgomery County residence have filed a federal lawsuit against the governor, his wife, and Pennsylvania State Police, accusing them of unlawfully claiming ownership of the neighbors’ property.

The lawsuit was filed Monday by a husband and wife who share a common property boundary with the governor’s Abington residence and centers around a shared property line.


A spokesperson for Shapiro blasted the filing as a "shameless political stunt," while the couple who filed the suit called the governor's actions an "outrageous abuse of power."

The suit also claims that Gov. Shapiro personally directed members of the Pennsylvania State Police to patrol that part of the neighbors’ property.

“On multiple occasions, when the [neighbors] have attempted to use their property, the State Police have insisted the area was ‘disputed’ and told them to immediately exit their property,” the lawsuit reads.

The lawsuit included the following photo of troopers on the property, standing in front of trees the governor allegedly had planted:

EXCERPT

Looks like a fine use for the Pennsylvania State Police.

I get the impression ol' Josh has quite the mean streak.
