"Rep. Stan Saylor, R-York, majority whip in the House, fell into the former category.
Members of the House simply want Philadelphia to come forward and
help solve some of the problems of the commonwealth, instead of sitting
there thinking that Philadelphia gets to have a pass, and everybody else
will put up the votes to help Philly," he said in an interview before
the vote."
Representative Saylor, how do you think Philadelphia will be a problem solver if you and other members of the Pennsylvania Legislature refuse to adequately fund the state's public schools, including those in Philadelphia? The stability of Philadelphia means the stability of Pennsylvania.
How do I know? Your Governor asked the President of the United States of America to step in when SEPTA's Regional Rail engineers and electricians went on strike. Approximately 400 people went on strike and the President intervened.
