Pa House to hold first 2024 voting session Monday
After a long winter break the Pennsylvania House resumes voting Monday. Democrat Jim Prokopiak will be sworn in to represent Bucks County's 140th District, shifting the chamber to a 102-101 Democratic edge. A ceiling leak from a burst heating coil caused extensive water damage in December 2022, delaying work until repairs finished with scaffolding and floor protections, at an estimated cost of $150,000.
