Controversies

As the Social Services Minister in 2008, it was later revealed that Harpauer had used private email for government-related manners. In one email she told a former campaign staffer "I will hire you by contract if need be to get around the rules defined by the [Public Service Commission]." In a later email to the same person, she stated "The Public Service Commission is getting all crappy about us hiring people without open competition … Blah … Blah … Blah. Lots of fun. I really don't care what they think!!" The former staffer said Harpauer told him to use private email because "we wanted to be free from the freedom of information requests."[2]

In 2018, Harpauer was revealed to have twice stayed at a hotel with her partner on personal trips in which the stay was paid for by the village of Pinehouse. Harpauer did not disclose any gifts or benefits for the stays in her personal disclosure statements.[3]
