PENNSYLVANIA — This morning, the Pennsylvania Capital-Star harshly criticized Doug Mastriano’s fantasy-land attempt at an election audit — while pointing out the serious, real-world issues that Harrisburg Republicans continue to ignore in the name of the Big Lie and Trumpian fairy tale distractions.
Pennsylvania Capital-Star: An Az-style audit? Welcome to #HotMessSummer, Pennsylvania
“…Meanwhile, back in the real world, the real problems that impact actual human beings continue unabated.
On Tuesday, hours before he buried a relative who was gunned down over the holiday weekend, state Sen. Sharif Street, D-Philadelphia, and other local and state officials from Pennsylvania’s biggest city pleaded for more help combating an epidemic of violence that has disproportionately impacted Black Philadelphians and other people of color.
In Pittsburgh, local groups stepped up their efforts to share resources and prevent evictions as the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s eviction moratorium comes to an end.
In Luzerne County, Wilkes-Barre’s mayor blamed three city fires and the death of a young boy on Pennsylvania’s fireworks law. Legislative proposals to repeal it abound.
And on Mastriano’s home turf of central Pennsylvania, ambulance crews are strapped for workers, and say they’re at a ‘crisis’ stage.
Real problems. Affecting real Pennsylvanians. With real world implications. All of them begging for the time and attention of one the nation’s largest and most expensive legislative bodies.”
