State House fails to override Wolf’s veto on sports

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives failed to override Gov. Wolf’s veto of a bill that allows schools to make its own rules on spectators at sporting events.

The House voted 130-71.

“25 House Democrats flipped their vote,” Sen. Mario Scavello, R-Monroe/Northampton posted.

“Rather than giving our local school boards the ability to decide, they think only Gov.Wolf should decide.”

Local representatives Doyle Heffley, Jack Rader, Jerry Knowles and Rosemary Brown, Republicans, all voted in favor of the override.

The original bill passed 155-17.
