Daily News | As the General Assembly stalled out, the House speaker announced a ‘listening tour’ of Pennsylvania
The state Senate recessed last week until Feb. 27. The House has no plans to return, hasn’t set rules, or even set committee chairs as both parties struggle for power in a razor-thin majority. Instead, the new House speaker will lead a “listening tour” around the state.“The House is essentially neutralized. It can’t perform its function,” said Khalif Ali, executive director of the good-government advocacy group Common Cause PA.
“As a rank-and-file member of the House for 10 years, I was never involved in the behind-the-scenes politics of the General Assembly,” Rozzi said in a news release. “Now, having been thrust into it over the last two weeks, I can tell you one thing: Harrisburg is broken.” It looks more likely that the House won’t reconvene before three special elections scheduled for Feb. 7. These elections for vacancies in solidly blue districts outside Pittsburgh will shift Democrats into a majority.
