Leaders of Pennsylvania’s Republican-led legislature rejected Democratic Governor Tom Wolf’s request that they call the legislature back into session and pass a mandate to require all schools and childcare centers to make children wear masks.

Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman and House Speaker Bryan Cutler hand-delivered a letter to Wolf’s office Thursday in response to Wolf’s Wednesday letter in which he made the request, citing concerns of parents, pediatricians, and teachers.
