Philadelphia Republican Martina White becomes newest PA House member

With the swearing-in of Martina White, Republicans now hold a 120-83 majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, the party's biggest advantage in decades. That means House Republicans can block Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's massive tax and spending proposals.

(Republicans also hold a 30-20 majority in the state Senate, but that lead includes a half-dozen RINOs who can't always be counted on to vote with the GOP.)
