So very sad to hear of the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh today. Thinking and praying for the victims, their families and the first responders who were affected by this senseless, hate-filled tragedy.

This week, I voted in favor of delaying and changing the Key Stone Exams for graduating high school seniors. This legislation will further delay this exam until 2022 & will also allow students to complete alternative measures for the purpose of high school graduation requirement

I am disappointed that SB261 was not called for a vote today. I strongly believe that this bill must contain a civil window to allow long struggling victims access to justice.
