HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- Gov. Tom Wolf will go through with a veto of a bill that would give school districts the sole ability to make decisions on sports, including whether and how many spectators to allow, he said Monday.
The Wolf administration's gathering limits of 25 people indoors and 250 people outdoors apply to youth sports, but legislation that cleared the state House and Senate would empower schools to make their own rules about the number of spectators permitted at games.
Some families have chafed at the statewide limits, saying attendance could safely be expanded while still allowing for adequate physical distancing.
Wolf, a Democrat, said at a news conference that statewide gathering limits need to be applied consistently to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Pennsylvania has reported more than 150,000 confirmed virus infections and 8,000 deaths attributed to COVID-19.

ONE of those 8,000 deaths was my MOTHER.
His criminal negligence in taking care of the most vulnerable, nursing home patients, should result in his removal as Governor.
My contempt for this POS knows no bounds.
7,934 Deaths in PA
6,243 of those deaths over 70 years of age
168 of those deaths under 50 years of age
PA State population is 12.8 million.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I keep wondering where the class action lawsuits are, against all of the leftist Govs who required/allowed China Flu positive people housed with NURSING HOME PATIENTS.
I saw an investigative segment, on OANN, last night...about the NY state nursing home deaths. Hearing the families’ stories was just too heartbreaking.
There has to be a way for loved ones to form a coalition and files suits against these murdering Govs.
They love to scream how masks and 6 ft distances work. To say only 25 inside and 250 outside is then made up. If you have HS gym/track/etc that can seat say 400 people, no reason you cant use every other row of bleachers and space seating out a bit to whatever ever then number is based on the facility.
In CT they invited a minor league football from out of state to play as their area said they couldn’t even plan in empty stadium.
Then they cancelled HS and college football, after approving it and starting practice because to all of sudden became too dangerous. To top it all off, the parents and players had a protest over the contradictions/changes and the libs said they shouldn’t be allowed to protest because they were just kids, CCPVirus is dangerous, etc. Not one bit of trash, graffiti, toppled statue, broken window, burned car/building, etc. Yet, the same people encouraged/condoned the same demographic to riot, tag buildings, block, highways, etc, for BLM.
Sorry for you loss.
The left loved to scream about the eeeevil states like FL and muy masks. Well FL, dealt with nursing homes by designating certain places to handle CCPVirus patients. If someone tested positive, they were moved to a home that would only house positive patients and took extra precautions with testing of staff, etc.
Add my mother to the list of those that died in assisted living from COVID-19... she was 81.
Lunacy. But that’s the way liberal morons want it, including Democrats; but then, I repeat myself.
We are told that colds and flu are transmitted more in winter not because of low temps but because we are all trapped inside sharing germs.
NOW we are told that staying home for months won’t transmit Covid but going to an open-air, often warm-air, event WILL transmit it.
This is such self-evident contradictory bull**** that it would make a cat laugh.
These are the same idiots who STILL think if we just “shut it all down” for 2-3 weeks early on CCPVirs would have disappeared. Look at CA, NY, MI and other states where they did that, mandated masks, etc. They still have the virus spread...because it is a virus.
Of course the reason it spread, according to them is people dared go out to go get food or took a walk alone mask less. They really wanted ChiCom style leave your house or go to jail rules, but call Trump a dictator.
