Daily News | Gov. Wolf stops in Philly to announce $100 million in new funds to curb gun violence across Pa.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on Wednesday announced more than $100 million in new funding for community groups working to curb gun violence across the commonwealth.
“Reducing gun violence has to be a top priority for all of us. It is for me,” Wolf said. “Our children deserve safety.”After the South Street shooting, frustration mounts over the Pennsylvania law that keeps Philly from passing its own gun control Mayor Jim Kenney, who is at a conference in Canada this week, has said Philadelphia is hamstrung by the legislature, which in 1994 passed a lawWolf, a Democrat whose term ends in January, expressed similar frustration during his visit Wednesday.
The grants the governor announced won’t only go toward addressing gun violence in Philadelphia; any community organization, municipality, college, or district attorney in Pennsylvania can apply. However, most of the state grants awarded for gun violence prevention in 2021 went to groups in Philadelphia, according to“These moneys are not going to somebody out there who is studying sort of the abstract, academic issues,” Wolf said.
