You state “Thank G-d for term limits.” That may be good...that may be bad.

That rule could (and does) eliminate some good conservative politicians and kicks them out of office...only for some liberal nut to fill their position. And...of course it also discourages some well qualified conservatives not to even try to run for office since they will automatically be out of a job years down the line with no options after that.

Another sickening, perverted legacy that Wolf leaves on PA. Swell.

PA has not had a good conservative governo in my half century-plus. We used to have a one term limit...got changed in the 70’s.

"...an unfair disadvantage based on sexual orientation..."

"Unfair" according to whom?

If they experience a disadvantage, perhaps there is a good reason for it.

Did I miss where the article says Tom Wolf is a democrat?

“could they have possibly left any offended or oppressed people out?”

The disabled, or different commissions for different types of disability.

PennLive ass/u/med that all of the readership was local and thus knew that Wolf is a donk.
