Pennsylvania ends COVID emergency amid calls for bipartisan action
Pennsylvania lawmakers voted to end Gov. Tom Wolf's COVID-19 disaster emergency while preserving hundreds of waivers. Senate leader Kim Ward said the emergency is over, but Democrats accused Republicans of political theater as they push for collaboration beyond the 21 day limit. The move follows a May 18 primary authorizing lawmakers to extend or terminate emergencies, reflecting tension over who controls crisis powers.
