Today on Out d'Coup, Sean Kitchen fills us in on why his head nearly exploded yesterday after learning about PA legislators' plans to open up Pennsylvania's public parks to profiteers. And this time we can't just blame the Republicans - almost all PA Democrats were on board with the privatization scheme until Rep. Greg Vitali, a Democrat from Delaware County broke the consensus and came out strongly against the bill. And this one would have passed too, since it seemed that Gov. Tom Wolf was on board with the scheme.
Then yesterday, a modified version of the high tech wage theft bill that Sean Kitchen has been reporting on passed the Senate yesterday with little opposition from Democrats. Only six representatives with strong records supporting workers voted in opposition.
And, it wouldn't be Pennsylvania if there wasn't another restrictive anti-abortion bill to talk about. Last week state lawmakers - again, on a bi-partisan basis - were waging more attacks on women's access to medical care and abortion services. Monday's historic pro-choice Supreme Court decision only underscores that PA lawmakers are moving in the wrong direction.
