SB 1 Clears Committee With Strong Bipartisan Vote


S.B.1, the proposed law that would give hope for thousands of children suffering in horrific schools, was reported out of the Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee this afternoon with only two dissenting votes — Democrats Jim Ferlo of the 38th District and Daylin Leach of the 17th District which includes Radnor and Haverford townships in Delaware County.

Those voting for it, however, included Democrats Andy Dinniman of the 19th District and Anthony Williams, whose 8th District includes 12 towns and boroughs in southeast Delaware County.

All Republicans voted for the bill.

A ray of light just got a little brighter for education in this state.

Hat tip Bob Guzzardi.

Reelz Pumping Kennedy Series

Reelz Pumping Kennedy Series — The star-studded, purportedly no-holds-barred mini-series about the Kennedy family discarded by The History Channel  is being heavily pumped by ReelzChannel, the independent, family-owned networked that snapped it up.

The History Channel produced the eight-part series developed by  Joel Surnow and Stephen Kronish at a cost described as “multi-million” but dropped it after a pressure campaign from family and friends of the clan.

Surnow is the producer of 24.

The Kennedys starts April 3 and stars Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes.

Reelz is on Channel 233 on Verizon’s lineup in Delaware County, Pa.
