The Dentons Pennsylvania Public Affairs team has you covered with a curated run-down of the top news headlines and trending policy issues for the week ending June 16th.
This week, Senator Yaw introduced legislation for the regulation of skill games in April. Last month, Yaw put together a regulatory framework and tax structure on skill games in Pennsylvania. Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald on Tuesday vetoed a bill passed by county council to establish a $20 minimum wage for county workers. The partisan rift in the closely divided Pennsylvania House was on full display as party leaders clashed on the pace of state budget negotiations with 16 days left in the fiscal year. And finally, even Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano apparently had some doubts about the latest plan hatched by Donald Trump’s inner circle to select fake Electoral College electors in an attempt to reverse the results of the presidential election.
