AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoNoncitizen voting fallout in NJ: A software flaw mistakenly added 6,000+ noncitizens to New Jersey’s voter rolls in 2023-24, after they answered “no” to citizenship at the Motor Vehicle Commission. Fewer than 400 voted, and NJ has hired an independent firm to investigate how it happened and what residents should expect next. Iran war powers fight: The House again passed a nonbinding resolution urging Trump to end the Iran war (214-208), while the Senate rejected a binding measure (49-47), with Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick among GOP members backing the House rebuke. PJM grid pressure: FERC warned PJM stakeholders that if governance reforms aren’t agreed by late September, the agency may impose changes using its legal authority. PA sentencing deadline: Lawmakers are still split on a new sentencing framework for second-degree murder after a state Supreme Court ruling struck mandatory life-without-parole; a court deadline is looming. Data center politics in PA: Shapiro’s GRID standards were drafted with input from Amazon and data-center insiders before going public, records show—fueling the ongoing fight over incentives, transparency, and environmental guardrails. Child death review funding: Pennsylvania’s budget adds $242,000 for the state-mandated child death review program, far short of what advocates say is needed.
