Pennsylvania GOP Backs Recalls, But Only for Philadelphia

Philadelphia Inquirer: “State Rep. Martina White (R), who represents Northeast Philly and chairs the Republican City Committee, introduced a bill in March to give voters across the state the power to recall elected officials, from governors and auditor generals down to mayors and district attorneys.”

“White’s bill landed this week in the House State Government Committee, where State Rep. Frank Ryan, a Republican from Lebanon County, amended it to apply only to Philadelphia. That amendment passed on party lines.”
