It's not a threat. It's a promise to Pennsylvanians. I've made it clear that I would veto legislation that risks the safety of our communities. #SB565 would allow anyone to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. It's not getting past my desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvanians have a right to live in a clean environment, but that's not the case for everyone — especially communities of color and low-income communities. That's why I took executive action to strengthen environmental justice efforts in Pennsylvania: https://t.co/CmIDcn4JXH. https://t.co/NapwLwpULV — PolitiTweet.org
