Last week, The Pennsylvania House of Representatives approved a bill establishing a two-year window for victims of sexual abuse to file civil claims. The legislation now goes before the Senate so it still has some hurdles to clear.
Giving abuse victims an opportunity for justice has been a passion for Democratic State Representative Mark Rozzi of Berks County – an abuse survivor himself.
Rep. Rozzi appears on Monday’s Smart Talk to discuss the two-year window and whether Pennsylvania’s Constitution will ever address the issue.
A recent national poll finds that three quarters of Americans are confident that temperatures have risen on Earth over the past four decades. However, those polled seemed to be less certain about the causes. Nearly six in 10 identify human activity as the reason temperatures are rising but almost half point to a combination of human activity and the natural cycle of the Earth’s environment.
The National Surveys on Energy and Environment was conducted by Muhlenberg College’s Institute of Public Opinion.
