Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program, which went live last year and includes unique research provisions that should make it a crown jewel of the state’s portfolio of industries, is quickly falling it to ignominy.

The latest example of this is temporary regulations made public last week by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Deep within the regulations’ legalize — and not in the department’s press release at all — were provisions that block public access to records on who scored the applications for grower-processor facilities throughout the state.

The new regulations expand on the state’s marijuana law, which already bars applicants from obtaining the names of reviewers but doesn’t prohibit their release to the general public.

To make matters worse, the government gave people only five days to comment on the temporary rules before they went into effect.

How many times can we say this? For an administration that prides itself on “transparency,” Gov. Tom Wolf has once again shown a tendency to keep secret important information that should be at taxpayers’ fingertips.

Does anyone need a refresher in this conduct?

Remember the $1 billion pitch for Amazon’s HQ2? The administration continues to waste taxpayer dollars fighting in court to keep the proposal secret.

How about the conduct of Lt. Gov. Mike Stack, who has been accused of abusing state employees? There’s an official, government report on the allegations. Taxpayers — who paid for the report and the Fort Indiantown Gap mansion that houses the Lieutenant Governor — still haven’t seen it.

And then, of course, there are the aforementioned, super-secret members of the so-called “panel of experts,” — who are so far above reproach that they may act as gatekeepers to the nation’s sixth-largest potential marijuana market, but must remain anonymous because ... why again, exactly? Oh, that’s right: “undue influence” and “public safety concerns.”

This is all utterly ridiculous.

The Wolf Administration talks a big game about trust and transparency in government, but when push comes to shove it works actively to limit the amount and kind of information that is made available to residents of the commonwealth.

Even worse, when it loses that fight — when the state Office of Open Records orders vital information made public — the administration scurries to the courts and wastes taxpayer money appealing the OOR’s rulings.

This administration talks a big game about transparency and accountability.

In reality, it’s first tendency is to secrecy. When it is called on that conduct, it shows no qualms about using public money to fund legal appeals that serve as delay tactics.

It is making a mockery of Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law and the promises Wolf made voters when he ran for office four years ago.
