The PA Supreme Court issued an order on Jan. 22 overturning the 2011 Congressional Redistricting Act as unconstitutional. In a 5-2 ruling, the court established a timeline for Congressional district lines to be redrawn by the General Assembly. The non-prevailing party is considering an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay, in part due to uncertainty about whether districts could be redrawn in time for the May 15 primary. Also in the news, numerous candidates have filed for 2018 election races for governor, lieutenant governor, U.S. Senate and Congress. One of Pennsylvania's Congressional Districts, the 18th, is vacant. A special election will be held on March 13. Three more incumbents will step aside after this term. Congressman Pat Meehan from the 7th Congressional District is dealing with allegations of inappropriate behavior toward a female staffer. In Harrisburg, numerous legislative retirements have been announced, and a constitutional amendment to decrease the size of the House to 151 members has cleared a House committee hurdle. If it passes, a ballot question could go to voters as soon as Nov. 6. To discuss these topics and others are: John Finnerty, Harrisburg Bureau Chief for Community Newspaper Holdings; Sam Janesch, Staff Writer with LNP; and Paul Engelkemier, Managing Editor with PoliticsPA.
