PA Weekly is a glance at Capitol happenings as covered each week by the reporters of Pennsylvania Legislative Services.

Auditor General Eugene DePasquale held a press conference Thursday afternoon where he discussed the issue with Pennsylvania's charter school law. 

DePasquale stated that Pennsylvania has the "worst charter school law in the United States." 

The Commonwealth Court on Thursday issued an opinion invalidating portions of a February 27, 2015, executive order issued by Gov. Tom Wolf that would—among other things—allow direct care workers to organize in a way to bargain its rights with the Commonwealth and create a list to solicit membership in a collective organization of direct care workers who would be represented by a single representative before the Commonwealth.

The executive order was issued in 2015 as part of a pre-budget address launch of a number of initiatives of the governor and his administration to “improve home and community-based care for seniors in Pennsylvania.”
