Republican election bill pushed ahead over Dems objections

Republican election bill pushed ahead over Dems objections By MARK SCOLFORO article HARRISBURG, Pa. - Republicans on a legislative committee Tuesday pushed out a multifaceted proposal to revamp Pennsylvania election law, a bill that backers said would make needed improvements and standardize procedures. Democrats were dead set against it, insisting that many of its purported upgrades were unworkable or would, in practice, make voting more difficult. The vote to advance it to the House floor was on party lines. Even the provisions that are supposed to increase access to the ballot box don t actually do that, said Rep. Margo Davidson of Delaware County, the ranking Democrat on the State Government Committee, asserting the legislation contained unfunded mandates all over the place.

Gov Wolf backs bill to block discrimination against LGBTQ+ community

The PA Fairness Act would expand LGBTQ+ protections. Author: Jamie Bittner (FOX43) Updated: 6:25 PM EDT June 15, 2021 PENNSYLVANIA, USA Governor Tom Wolf is pushing for the passage of a bill in Pennsylvania that would extend LGBTQ+ protections. The Governor gathered Tuesday with supporters as they unveiled the PA Fairness Act, H.B. 300, that would prohibit discrimination against an individual based on their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. “The Fairness Act is popular with voters and virtually guaranteed to pass the Pennsylvania House and Senate. I’ve been fighting for civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ people for more than two decades, and all we need to get it across the finish line is for GOP leaders to schedule the votes,” said Rep. Dan Frankel (D-Allegheny), founder and current co-chair of the LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus. “It’s the right thing to do, and the smart thing to do.”

Bill to let Philly voters recall elected officials gets vote

Bill to let Philly voters recall elected officials gets vote Published article HARRISBURG, Pa. - Philadelphians would be able to hold an election to remove elected officials under a bill the House State Government Committee advanced Tuesday on party lines. Until the committee met Tuesday, the bill had applied to the state’s governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor general and treasurer, and all mayors and district attorneys. But a Republican-sponsored amendment took out nearly all of those officials and applied it only to Philadelphia, notably its district attorney and mayor. The proposal passed on party lines, with Republicans in support. Philadelphia has long been an overwhelmingly Democratic city.
