Could a hole in the roof of the State Capitol in Harrisburg create a hole in future legislation for the Commonwealth?
On Thursday, State Representative Josh Kail of Beaver County made an appearance on “Rappin’ With The Reps” with Eddy Crow and started the show by talking about an odd situation occurring in the State House of Representatives, which occurred shortly after a resignation on December 15 that forced a 101-101 divide between Republicans and Democrats.
“The Speaker of the House, instead of bringing us back and getting stuff done in a bipartisan fashion because it would have been tied 101-101, announced that we can’t go back to Harrisburg until the middle of March,” Kail explained, “and she said it’s because there’s because there’s a leaky roof.”
Kail says that there has been a “cursory” investigation that seems to contradict the Speaker’s claim, and furthermore compared the situation to the recently played National Championship in college football, where the game continued on despite a leak in the roof of NRG Stadium in Houston.
“It is a real shame, because there is work that needs to be done in Harrisburg,” Kail added.
