PA State Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill With A Vaccine Passport Update
Pennsylvania State Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill joins the Dom Giordano Program for updates coming out of Harrisburg after the primary elections last week. First, Giordano asks Phillips-Hill if she’s noticed any difference in the city following the vote that re-organizes the emergency powers that the Governor can utilize in times of crisis, such as during the pandemic. Then, Giordano and Phillips-Hill jump into her current focus, that being the curtailing of vaccine passports. Phillips-Hill has faced push back by Democrats due to her proposition to ban vaccine passports, with the argument that the Governor has not pushed for passports, though states that have had similar paths for the virus have started to implement such tools in an effort to curb the virus. Phillips-Hill updates how her push has gone to disallow vaccine passports in the state, and updates the audience on another focus of hers, being a potential leak of personal data by the state.
