Pennsylvania governor’s fall agenda leaves Republicans unimpressed

Published August 26, 2020 10:00pm ET



Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf told reporters Tuesday he wants lawmakers to focus on boosting family and worker protections this fall instead of attacking him – a criticism that didn’t land well with Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

“We need to provide relief for families. We need to provide relief for small business. We need to reform our government,” Wolf said during a news conference at Discovery Kids Childcare Center near Harrisburg. “House and Senate Democrats have fought for these things for years, but they’ve been stopped at every turn by Republicans who have been focused on ignoring the public health crisis or attacking me. That has to stop. We have to get back to doing things that matter to people.”
