Pennsylvania Senate will end voting sessions each year on Election Day to avoid lame-duck sessionsFrom the Patriot News: Pennsylvania Senate leaders announced today they will not hold any voting sessions after the general election on Nov. 2. The move, which Senate leaders and many good government groups tout as a step toward accountability, will limit the ability of Gov. Ed Rendell or the state House to make policy in the four weeks between the election and the formal end of session on Nov. 30. The House's options, for example, would be limited to acting on bills already passed by the Senate. But Senate Republican leaders argue that's OK, in part because they don't agree with letting lawmakers vote on bills, or Rendell signing or vetoing them, after their successors have already been elected. |
