The governor is expected to sign the measure, which Rep. Daryl Metcalfe sponsored.
The state House of Representatives has given the green light to legislation that Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, sponsored, which will require voters to show photo identification before they vote at the polls. The measure will next hit the desk of Gov. Tom Corbett, who has indicated he plans to sign the bill into law, the Patriot-News reports. “Pennsylvania is now one signature away from implementing a proven, fraud-preventing mechanism to ensure that voters are who they claim to be when exercising their inalienable right to privately cast their vote,” Metcalfe said in a statement. “Authenticating one citizen-one vote ownership by requiring the display of valid photo ID at the polling place is essential to replacing the centuries-old …

The state representative unveiled plans for the legislation at a press conference Tuesday.
During a news conference on Tuesday, State Rep Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, unveiled legislation that would outlaw teacher strikes and other public school lockouts in Pennsylvania. Metcalfe partnered with State Rep Todd Rock, R-Franklin, a former non-union teacher and school board member, on the STRIKE-FREE Education Pact. According to a statement on Metcalfe’s website, the act immediately would outlaw teacher strikes and lock outs and enforce penalties on the striking teachers, including: $5,000 individual fine, per incident for inciting a strike; striking teachers losing two days of pay, each day of an illegal strike; and the striking teachers union forfeiting its dues check-off privilege for one year. Rock also called Pennsylvania the…

The budget passes the House by a vote of 109 to 92.
Whether Tuesday’s vote in the state House of Representatives to approve the $27.3 billion state budget plan is viewed as “prioritized spending…responsible spending” or as inflicting “excruciating pain” on the Commonwealth’s “most vulnerable citizens” seems split clearly along party lines. The budget passed the House by a vote of 109 to 92. The bill now goes to the state Senate, which is expected to restore some of the cuts made by the House. The budget is required by law to be adopted by June 30. The House Democrats stood firm against the Republican budget, which they say would include $976 million in cuts to K-12 education funding, nearly $300 million in cuts to higher education and about $500 million in cuts to health care and human …
