PA LAWMAKERS REACT TO ARSON ATTACK AT GOVERNOR’S RESIDENCE

Pennsylvania lawmakers are condemning the arson attack at the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis said targeting elected officials and their family members is never acceptable, and these sorts of acts deter people from pursuing public service.

State Senator Joe Pittman said he reached out to Governor Shapiro after the incident, and was glad to hear he was ok.  He said that measures do need to be taken to not only increase security, but to in his words, “bring down the temperature.”

State Representative Jim Struzzi also offered comment, saying this behavior should never happen to anyone, especially an elected leader.

U.S. Senator Dave McCormick said there is no room in America or the commonwealth for lawlessness, violence, and hatred.
