HARRISBURG, Jan. 25 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0State Reps. Tim Briggs, D-Montgomery, Morgan Cephas, D-Phila., and Peter Schweyer, D-Lehigh, issued the following statement on the progress of the\u00a0Speaker\u2019s Workgroup to Move Pennsylvania Forward, who are tasked with finding a bipartisan agreement to end gridlock in the House:<\/p>\n

“This bipartisan workgroup is committed to prioritizing seeking justice for child sexual abuse survivors and drafting appropriate operating rules for the Special Session and regular session.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workgroup members have met frequently with serious and honest conversations, but we have not yet agreed to, and should not agree to, anything until we have public input. That’s why we look forward to the Speaker’s upcoming\u00a0statewide listening sessions<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0first listening session<\/a>\u00a0will take place today, Jan. 25, at 6 p.m. in\u00a0the Simmons Auditorium at the Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
