Governor calls on Pennsylvania lawmakers to pass $2,000 stimulus checks

Gov. Tom Wolf is pushing state lawmakers to pass legislation that would send households direct payments of up to $2,000.

Wolf was joined by state Rep. Emily Kinkead in Pittsburgh earlier this month to call on Pennsylvania's Republican-led General Assembly to pass a bill that would use leftover American Rescue Plan Act funds to send $2,000 checks to Pennsylvanians with a household income of $80,000 or less.
