Death Penalty Abolition Faces House Showdown Vote
In Harrisburg House Majority Leader Stephen McCann said a vote on the abolition bill was set amid a prior 70 to 129 defeat on recommitting to the Aves Committee. The Senate Judiciary General Committee had already rejected a similar bill 15 to 5, signaling likely failure in the House. The session also addressed Kerr-Mills medical aid for elderly Pennsylvanians, expanding federal aid to about 62,000 seniors. Representative Joshua Eilberg moved to recommit the death penalty bill, provoking questions about intent from Rep. Thomas McCormack.
