"This morning, SEPTA revealed the harsh impact months of Senate Republican inaction will have on commuters, students, and businesses in southeastern Pennsylvania.
"The House already passed SEPTA funding four times, while Senate Republicans have done nothing to fund transit, and instead issued commands and conditions. Senate Republican leaders even stated funding transit is something they could live without. (Philadelphia Inquirer June 18)
“Safety, security, cleanliness, fare evasion – these were all cited by Senate Republicans as pre-conditions to fund transit. Today House Democrats – without amendment or reservation – will pass every piece of legislation out of committee Senate Republicans have publicly demanded, while also delivering vital funding to keep SEPTA moving.
“The only issue remaining is: will senators allow their leaders to hold Pennsylvania’s economy and the livelihoods of millions hostage?”
