Governor Wolf Asks Court to Intervene

Democratic Governor Tom Wolf has asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to intervene in his dispute with legislative republicans who are trying to end pandemic restrictions he imposed in march to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.

Republican majorities in the house and senate, with a few Democrats in support, voted this week to end the State's emergency disaster declaration that Wolf has used to shut down "non-life-sustaining" businesses, ban large gatherings and order people to stay at home.

Wolf said that his gradual reopening plan is working, pointing to a downward trend in the number of new virus infections in Pennsylvania even as cases rise in nearly half the states.
