Update from Session—all but 3 members of the @PAHouseGOP just voted to take away funding from in-state students at University of Pittsburgh over medical research, claiming that it’s a “pro-life” vote. Apparently its “pro-life” to take $14K/year away from OUR OWN college students.
To make matters worse, we are now debating an amendment that would hold Penn State students hostage if Penn State doesn’t release the location of a statue of Joe Paterno 🙄🙄🙄
We are literally two three days away from the constitutional due date for the #PABudget and *this* is the nonsense the @PAHouseGOP is focused on. Not lowering gas prices or property taxes, not funding schools, not protecting women’s rights. Instead they’re punishing students.
As Rep. Carroll just said, it is TIME TO GOVERN! The @PaHouseDems stand ready and willing to do just that. #PABudget
Three* days. @Twitter, we are ready for that edit button!
