Republicans push for investigation into Pennsylvania s COVID-19 response at nursing homes
The Majority Leader announced on Monday he plans to refer an investigation into nursing homes to the House Government Oversight Committee Author: Jamie Bittner (FOX43) Updated: 4:46 PM EST March 1, 2021
Pennsylvania Republicans are pushing forward on an investigation into the Wolf administration s COVID-19 response at nursing homes.
House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff said he will refer the investigation to the House Government Oversight Committee, which has subpoena power, once the House returns to session. At the end of the day we want Pennsylvanians to feel we are a lot more prepared than we were 12 months ago and more importantly that decisions are being made by more than one or two people, Benninghoff told FOX43.

A proposed constitutional amendment that would drastically alter Pennsylvania’s judicial system advanced Wednesday with the blessing of the House Judiciary Committee.
The amendment would let voters choose to elect the state’s appellate court judges by region, instead of statewide a move opponents say would “gerrymander the court.”
The bill passed the GOP-controlled committee by a vote of 13 to 12 with two Republicans, Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery) and Natalie Mihalek (R-Allegheny), breaking ranks to oppose the measure.
Republicans who back the measure say the idea would give voters in rural Pennsylvania a greater voice to elect judges.
