Gov. Tom Wolf speaks at an event Wednesday, May 12, 2021, in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Republican lawmakers in many states have tried to roll back the emergency powers governors exercised during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they shut business, sent students home for distance learning and mandated mask-wearing in public. In Pennsylvania, the GOP-controlled Legislature is taking its case to the votes. Twin constitutional amendments on the primary ballot on Tuesday, May 18 would undercut the authority of Wolf and all future governors to take executive action during an emergency, whether it's another pandemic or natural disaster.
