Democrats won control of the Pennsylvania House in special elections Tuesday, wresting partial power from Republicans for the first time in a dozen years in the competitive swing state.
That left Republicans with more people in the House than Democrats and led to a political impasse. The chamber elected Democratic Rep. Mark Rozzi as speaker as the new session began on Jan. 3, but only after Republican leaders and a few other GOP members joined with all Democrats on the vote. A few minutes after McClinton was done speaking, the clerk's office sent out an email with notice of House floor sessions to resume in two weeks.
Pennsylvania republicans are more like Mitt Romney than Trump. Expect zero conservative legislation to be passed but big business will continue to do fine

Neat, so this just changes the color of the party giving away all of our precious resources to the cops.
And now people will see truly what their agenda is with the bills they pass. Thankful there is balance with a R controlled Senate. Otherwise we'd become NJ in a minute.
