Talkwilliamsport.com received the following from Lyndsay Kensinger, Press Secretary to Governor Wolf in reaction to Federal Judge Stickman issuing an Order to deny the STAY requested by the administration.

“The administration is disappointed with the decision and is filing an appeal. The actions taken by the administration were mirrored by governors across the country and saved, and continue to save lives in the absence of federal action. This decision is especially worrying as Pennsylvania and the rest of the country are likely to face a challenging time with the possible resurgence of COVID-19 and the flu in the fall and winter.”

The appeal will most likely be filed with the Third Circuit Court Of Appeals in Philadelphia.

Earlier in the day, SportsRadio 96.7 broke the news of the denial of the STAY.
