by cutting taxes for pennsylvania businesses by 25%. no longer will we ask the businesses empower our economy to pay the highest rate in nation. not only does my plan help lift that burden, it levels the playing field by closing the loophole that lets committee corporations benefit from doing business in our commonwealth without pairing their fair share. third big change. even with these tax cuts for working families and businesses, my plan more than doubles our investment in education. finally, we will be able to fully and fairly fund every school and every school district and every part of the commonwealth. putting all this funding through the fair funding formula that means that struggling schools will finally get the resources they need without taking away from schools already being adequately funding. imagine, no more chronic underfunding. no more budget gimmicks shifting round money to hide our shortfalls. no more picking winners and losers. no more last minute one time bailouts for school districts because they can't make ends me

in pennsylvania, dr. rachel levine served in the governor's cabinet as secretary of health and has been recently nominated to serve as assistant health secretary. and anita keating and pioneer for civil rights protections. sarah mcbride was sworn in as the first transgender senator in the state of delaware and peter buttigieg was sworn in as the u.s. secretary of transportation becoming the first openly gay cabinet member to be confirmed by the senate. they are trying to pit girls against transgender girls when this legislation is strengthening opportunities for women, women sports, single-sex colleges or homeless services, the equality act prohibits discrimination on gender entities. it simply ensures they are inclusive of all women and girls including transwomen and girls. support for this legislation is overwhelming and deserves a positive response from body. i encourage my colleagues to support the rule and underlying the legislation and asking the senate to swiftly pass this girl so we can provide fi

it also proposes a major tax reduction for pennsylvania businesses. still i know folks on the other side of the aisle will point to the budget and tell you all the things it does wrong for all the things it doesn't like that we are not in the chamber today. there's no one here to sit stoically and react so i'm not talking to them but to the people of pennsylvania. i'm talking to you and here's i'm telling you. there is a way out of the cycle of disappointment and half measures and i am telling you once and for all we can do it this year we have a great public school for every child in neighborhood in pennsylvania and job opportunities and in the economy it's possible to pursue a legislative agenda that is good for families and retro businesses in good for the economy. and your family's future is important enough to have this argument right now instead of putting it off until next year or the year after that are the after that. so look at my budget online what does that mean for your family or community for our commonwealth quicksand so raise your voic

the question is who can win in pennsylvania? pat toomey can't win in pennsylvania. that's why he's retiring. it's not about spending more time in the private sector with his family, it's because he knows he can't win because -- obviously he's disliked intensely by democrats but by republicans as well too. so we have an opportunity to flip this seat blue and i'm proud to be in this race. >> here's a quote from republican al schmidt who's one of the three city commissioners of the philadelphia county board of commissioners. republican. he's been quite outspoken about the way your own state party and republicans in your state of pennsylvania have fomented the big lie about the election. he said i would suggest they censure republican elected officials who are lying. has there been any accountability, any recriminations, any censure at all for the many republicans in your state that have promulgated this own insidious lie about your own state's election integrity? >> it would be faster and easier to acknowledge who hasn't lied. commissioner schmidt is one of the only on

in pennsylvania we have local control so is the pennsylvania department of health we have the guidelines but it ultimately was the decision of the superintendent of the school board about whether learning suwould be remote hybrid or in person. i have had the opportunity to read the articles that you mentioned and review the american academy of pediatrics statements and i found them very distinct and if i am fortunate enough to be confirmed to this position i would very much like to v work with others in health and human services and work with dr. walensky at the cdc and look closely at this issue. >> because there are a diversity of views of how we can safely open schools and we are really seeing the downside of not having them open. we also talked about covid in nursing homes and you assured me that pennsylvania did not do what new york did to accurately report it however i'm told in september of 2020 spotlight pennsylvania reported an issue with inadequate disclosure of cases and deaths in nursing homes. for example some facilities were consistently listed as having -- in the weekly st

what do people need to be able to build a brighter future in pennsylvania? what are the barriers that get in their way. what can we do to help remove those barriers. if you were to ask a young family whether they enjoyed paying taxes, or whether they would like to pay more in taxes, they would look at you like you were nuts. but what if we started the conversation the way my colleagues described it. what if we ask people about the barriers between them and the bright future they imagined when they decided to build a life in the commonwealth. when i first got to her as the answer was almost always the same. the schools. far too many parents across the commonwealth, westmoreland county, fulton and tioga county and philadelphia county and beyond, they all felt like the opportunities available to their kids would be determined less by their talent and more by their zip code . no matter how great a parent you are, if your local school system lacks the resources it needs to provide your kids with quality education, that's a barrier given them a better life. the ba

so during the civil war when robert e lee's army of northern virginia came in to pennsylvania in the summer of 1863 she was quite concerned that her family would be the next people, could be victims of kidnapping from the army of northern virginia. as she watches in her diaries she sees refugees coming into the city of philadelphia fleeing the army. she writes in her diary how concerned she is about their freedom. they're free now pennsylvania but that freedom is a tenuous thing without a legal antislavery in the country, which seemed like a remote possibility in the summer of 1863. so certainly with davis' diary in her experience as this woman living in the free city of philadelphia remind us that freedom -- her experience of

from pennsylvania -- that is not just pat toomey of pennsylvania, that is my senator from pennsylvania. and you like that. people like that. the people back home really do. united states senators have a reputation, and it is deserved. they have a reputation for cool headedness. the men and women that we send from back home to d.c. to look after our interests. we feel a sense of ownership and a sense of priden our senators . there is plenty of times i have been around political gatherings or right here. there is no way senator to meet is going to rely on that. i don't mean to put you in it, but there is no way senator casey will allow that. because we feel pride that something bad is potentially in the wind, we expect our united states senators not reacting to popular will and not reacting to emotions. we expect them to do what is right, notwithstanding what is immeely an expedient that the media tells us is the topic of the day. so senators are patriots. senators are family men and women. they are fuse advocates for the great state in which they represent, and somewhere far down that l

the lincoln team made the deal with pennsylvania that if pennsylvania switched completely to lincoln in the second round and they have the second-largest delegation at the convention, they have 54, that if lincoln won the election, that simon cameron would get a position on lincoln's cabinet. this is controversial, and many people grand that it was done for the good of the party. cameron was the third lace -- the third place candidate after the first round and they are going to go completely to lincoln and that is how this is going to work. the balloting was supposed to occur on thursday but they had to carve out a platform and on friday, the convention begins. after the first round, lincoln is getting partial votes from a lot of states. at the end of the first round, seward had 173, lincoln has 102, cameron is third, chase is at 50, bates is at 49 and the other seven candidates after that, much less. what do you need to win? 233. second round they are voting not alphabetically by state, but geographically from the atlantic across the mississippi. suddenly they see what is happening

pennsylvania and new jersey. and they are budging. okay? especially pennsylvania. pennsylvania's caucusing, like little straw polls before the convention is set to begin. they like lincoln. they like him a lot. other states like him, too. and he is going to get partial votes from a lot of different states. but the plan for the lincoln folks is to try to get 100 votes in the first round. what did i say you need to win? >> 233. >> you people are good. you need 233 to win. the idea is to get 100 in the first round. the reason for that is so that you clearly set yourself away are the rest of the field. you though you are going to be behind william henry suard. who could win this in the first round but there are six favorite sons that are going to get their states' complimentary vote in the first round. making sure that suard doesn't get to 233 and make sure lincoln gets to 100. that's ambitious, quite a goal to get a quarter of those votes. what's important is in the next round you want to build emmo up. you don't want this thing to go -- in 1852 it went 49 ballots. yo
