PA Gov. Shapiro Outlines Unfinished Business for State Legislature

Plans include school vouchers, minimum wage increase, gun violence legislation, and addressing discrimination against poor school districts.

PA Governor Josh Shapiro has outlined his unfinished business for the state Legislature, which includes passing a private school voucher program, increasing the minimum wage, and approving bills to curb gun violence.
Shapiro also wants to lift limits that prevent adult victims of childhood sexual assault from suing their assailants and institutions.
Shapiro plans to address a court ruling that found Pennsylvania unconstitutionally discriminates against the poorest school districts in his next budget proposal.
The governor's support for a Republican proposal to send $100 million to families for private school tuition and school supplies stands out among Democratic governors.
Agreements are nowhere in sight between the Republican-controlled Senate and the Democratic-controlled House on Shapiro's agenda.
