A week after the Pennsylvania primary, the House State Government Committee on Tuesday advanced a resolution to remove parts of Gov. Tom Wolf s emergency orders.
The resolution, which passed the committee 15-10, is a response to the May 18 primary results in which the majority of voters chose to limit the governor s executive powers and hand more control of disaster declarations to the legislative branch.
Pennsylvanians spoke loud and clear in the primary, said committee chair Rep. Seth Grove, R-York County, as he introduced House Resolution 106.
The resolution is sponsored by House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, R-Centre County, to end what he describes as the most destructive parts of Wolf s initial March 6, 2020, disaster declaration for COVID-19.
