Gov. Corbett announced Friday the reappointment of Sam Katz to chair Philadelphia's state fiscal oversight board, the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority.

Katz, a documentary filmmaker and former Republican mayoral candidate, was first appointed in March 2011.

The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) was created in 1991 during the city's fiscal crisis. Philadelphia mayors each year are required to submit a five-year budget plan for approval by PICA's five-member board. - Inquirer staff
