The 15 Best Tweets From Tom Wolf’s Twitter Town Hall

Gov. Tom Wolf did as the cool kids do and held a “Twitter Town Hall” Tuesday. Citizens asked him about everything from fracking to education funding to, obviously, his Jeep.

There were the solid, earnest questions:

There were the questions from Wolf’s critics, such as the state Republican Party and fractivists, which you have to give kudos to Wolf for taking:

There were the questions that Wolf should have taken, but didn’t (to be fair, of course, you can’t expect him to answer every one):
