Larry Farnese
State Sen. Larry Farnese (D-S. Phila.) debated State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) on PCN Public Affairs Television this week about the need for common sense gun legislation in Pennsylvania. The live program brought together two of the Commonwealth’s most-passionate, pro and con, gunlegislation advocates for the first time. Farnese has talked to law enforcement and prosecutors from across the Commonwealth about how they want and need commonsense gun laws so they can stay safe, fight violence and lock up law-breaking gun owners. Farnese advocated for law enforcement and discussed his legislation which would implement mandatory sentencing for unlawfully carrying a firearm, require the reporting of lost and stolen firearms, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and require mandatory background checks.

There will be a primary and general election for candidates seeking to become judges in the Philadelphia Traffic Court. The Senate Appropriations Committee unanimously reported out State Sen. Domenic Pileggi’s (R-Delaware) bills designed to eliminate Philadelphia’s Traffic Court. Nine elected judges and three other individuals were charged on Jan. 31 by the federal government for ticket-fixing within that court. The Senate Majority
Leader argues this is undeniable evidence the court should be abolished. Philadelphia is the only county in Pennsylvania to have its own separate traffic court. State Sen. Anthony Williams (D-W. Phila.), inclined to support Pileggi’s bills, has suggested, without being specific, there are other counties with “favoritism” problems similar to those exposed in the Philadelphia Traffic Court situation. “This is a conversation that should start with Philly, but a lot more needs to be done,” said Williams.

lieves will enhance Philadelphia’s disclosure rules to make sure Philadelphia voters have all the information they can get about who’s trying to influence elections in the City. The Councilman’s proposed legislation requires any “person or political committee” that makes an expenditure or contribution for the dissemination of material that includes a candidate’s name or likeness to file a disclosure statement with the City Board of Ethics with the names and amounts of contributions of all those who have “contributed ($100 or more) to the person or committee within the previous 12 months.” Green said, “The issue is how outside expenditures affect the race as a whole – not whether or not it is ‘coordinated’ with a particular candidate or committee. The original intent of our campaign-finance laws was to identify the source of money spent to influence elections in Philadelphia. We cannot allow that to be superseded by individuals or committees spending vast quantities of money from hidden donors and special interests.”
