REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER CALLS FOR RESIGNATION OF NEW STATE HOUSE SPEAKER

PA House Republicans want the speaker they nominated last week to resign. Republican state Representative Jim Gregory has called for State Representative Mark Rossi’s resignation. In a letter released Monday, Gregory says Rossi has broken a promise by not switching parties to become an independent. Following the release of this letter, the house delayed coming back to the session at least three times on Monday. Rossi released a statement saying he will create a bipartisan committee to address the issue and quote – “cut through the noise.”
