Tom Wolf, a businessman from York, took the oath of office Tuesday as Pennsylvania's 47th governor. Wolf, 66, was sworn in outside the Capitol on a milder January day than many previous inaugurations, with outgoing Gov. Tom Corbett and his predecessors Rendell, Tom Ridge, and Mark Schweiker looking on. Wolf told the crowd of 4,000 that he had three goals for his first term: "Jobs that pay. Schools that teach, and government that works.” To officially become the new governor, York County Court Judge Penny Blackwell administered the oath as Wolf placed his hand on a family Bible dating from the mid-19th century. Wolf then gave a 15-minute address, where he touched on Pennsylvania's history of the "Holy Experiment" built on tolerance and inclusion that pursued the idea that "all things are possible with boldness and courage."
