State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R) of Butler County is slated to propose a resolution calling for the impeachment of Gov. Tom Wolf (D), contending that the governor has violated a number of our God-given rights affirmed in the United States Constitution.
Metcalfe sent a memo to colleagues on Friday, asking them to cosponsor his measure to impeach the governor over his administrations response to the coronavirus in the Keystone State. In the memo, Metcalfe states that Wolfs order mandating the closure of physical locations of all businesses that he has deemed non-life sustaining has violated our citizens rights in many devastating ways.
His order constitutes a taking of property from business owners without just compensation. The lack of due process and judicial review permitted under his order also violates the Constitution, he said, adding that the stay-at-home order has violated Pennsylvanians rights to free speech and assembly.
The Butler County Republican also told colleagues that the Wolf administration has lacked transparency as agencies under his control have stopped responding to requests for records and his office has refused to provide vital information a reference to the shadowy business waiver program allowing certain nonessential businesses to apply for exemptions to operate while the stay-at-home order remains in place. The Department of Community and Economic Development only granted waivers to 6,123 businesses, and the administration has yet to provide the criteria used to determine which businesses were granted waivers.
His delays and obfuscation have been, and continue to be, entirely unacceptable, Metcalfe said....The governor must be held accountable for his actions that have harmed so many of our citizens and violated so many of our rights, the state lawmaker added. No individual or office is above the law.

That is V-Tach!!
Didn’t MI do something similar by refusing to renew it after it expired, only to have Karen issue a EO to issue a new one to bypass the legislature?
That is hilarious!
that’s MORE important imho!!
It takes a terrible toll on our country when other countries she the FREAKSHOW we have become in some areas.
And other countries don’t CARE that it’s a dem or R appointee.
That we Rs would allow such INSANITY says something to our enemies.
It’s a man with a wig. And an UGLY man!!
The governor sucks and he has to go. But governors come and go.
These precedents that FREAKS are appointed to positions regarding health are Terrible.
Cuomo, Murphy, and Wolf ushered the virus into every nursing home across 3 States....now that’s teamwork....central planning at it’s best
Please remove the (bleep) from office. Pennsylvania deserves better...
Metcalfe is a good guy; if the entire PA GOP was more like him, this sh*t would be over already.
That is pilot car ugly. You should be required to post a warning 5-10 posts up thread.
It will be interesting to see what happens in Florida should there be a resurgence of the virus in a couple of weeks. I think the issue is that Republicans tend to be the party of business and Dems the party of people’s lives.
I made a copy on May 11 of all the US states and listed territories from Worldometers USA, so I could compare how the various states turn out as they reopen or not. I compared Florida with Michigan, and Texas today May 17th. US has gone from 80 to 90 thousand dead in 6 days. Florida has almost doubled the amount of tests given in that time and changes in other statistics compared with MI and TX are relatively similar, although Texas is now listed above Michigan, not below. On the two far right columns in the Worldometers list there are items you can click. Below is the Projections list I clicked for Florida on the last column.

Finally someone in government recognizes that all of this was a farce. Yes, the virus is bad and folks died. But it was NO WHERE as bad as they claimed it would be. It was made up by the One Worlder’s to hang around Trump’s butt. This is all to destroy him. It was meant to destroy our economy. It was to take CONTROL. It was a trial run to see how far they could get with it. They won. They pulled a trial run to see how far they could get. They won. Everybody ran for the hills. Ran for their houses. Barred the doors. Did EVERYTHING, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING the government dictated. Closed ALL of our businesses except ones needed, well maybe. Our BOOMBING economy came to a screeching halt. Destroyed in minutes. A so-called doctor directed Trump shut down the government, close the doors, lock it up. He did. 2.5 million deaths that doctor claimed. The numbers are no where near, no where. And now the commie dims are trying to tie it around Trump’s neck. Their stupid polls claim Butt-den is way ahead in some states. We know it ain’t true, but some silly sheep will read it and believe it. All to damage Trump. People need to wake up before it is too late and we have lost the Republic. We are that close.
“I find it rather interesting that nobody is calling for Gregg Abbotts or the govenor of Floridas head.”
I cannot speak for Florida, but here in Texas, a conservative Republican organization has filed suit against Governor Abbott. Lots of conservatives are unhappy. Enough to mount a credible primary challenge...I have no idea?

YES. That bizarre tranny needs some psychological examination too.
She saved her own 95 year old grandmother from the nursery home and blew it with others' family members. She's as guilty and weird as the operation she had on herself.

I did not see that in the article. Could you tell me where you learned that?
It would be great to see that strange thing punished.

Yes .........someone just whispered to me that what Levine did was not unlike insider trading ........
They are trying to keep Trump from holding rallies in MI, PA, WI. Period. End of sentence. Paragraph.
That's it. That's all this is about at this point.
This will be particularly laughable if they take it to the extreme and cancel the Milwaukee Democrat Convention, now delayed to August 17. Otherwise, if they go for it, I guarantee Trump will hold hold a Wisconsin rally the same weekend. And then it's on like Donkey Kong.

Legislators spoke out at the protest in Harrisburg calling for Levine to resign.
