The proposal passed the state House 102 to 101, along party lines. It now goes to the Labor and Industry Committee in the GOP-controlled state Senate for consideration.
State Rep. Jason Dawkins (D., Philadelphia), the prime sponsor of the state House bill, told Spotlight PA he hopes Senate Republicans see the legislation as a sign of good-faith negotiation.
Ah yeah I bet that'll happen; no chance PA GOP will be absolute fuckfaces about this extremely toothless proposal. There's a real chance for this one! /s.
I like the cost of living idea, although it's still probably too low overall. And I wish they would kill this once and for all by tying it to inflation.
Rtfa, it's tied to CPI, e.g. inflation. Like almost all of these bills, there are a series of set increases to bring it up to a "standard", no comment, then tied to CPI from there, 2029 in PA's case.
Oh awesome. Thanks for RTFAing for me.
