http://www.mcall.com/news/nationworld/pennsylvania/mc-pa-final-pension-reform-vote-20161026-story.html [...] The GOP could not get enough of its 119 members to support the bill in the face of zero support among the chamber's 84 Democrats. Standing at the top of the Capitol rotunda steps at about 10:45 p.m., Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, declared the bill dead. Corman told reporters that House Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, informed him there was not enough support for the bill, and Corman laid the failure at the feet of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who voiced support for the bill but did nothing to turn out votes from his party. "It effectively ends the discussion on pension reform for this session," Corman said. "Obviously, we are extremely disappointed." |
