We covered Democrat Tom Wolf's campaign stop at York Day Nursery on Aug. 22.

Here are some more highlights from a news conference during the stop.

Tomalis

When asked about criticism from Democrats of former state Education Secretary Ron Tomalis, Wolf said he's just asking questions.

"I'm just asking, I think as all of us are, for some more information on Ron Tomalis," Wolf said. "What was he doing? And what did he do to justify the $140,000 and the bump he got in his pension plan?"

Corbett announced in May 2013 that Tomalis would step down as education secretary to become a special adviser.

A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story in July said that information obtained under the state's Right-to-Know law raised questions about how much time Tomalis spent on his duties to his earn his about $140,000 salary. Corbett in August defended Tomalis, saying he wasn't a "ghost employee."

Acting Secretary of Education Carolyn Dumaresq on Aug. 12 announced that she accepted the resignation of Ron Tomalis, effective Aug. 26.
