HARRISBURG — The most powerful Republican in the Pennsylvania House, Speaker Mike Turzai, is expected to announce Wednesday that he will resign before the end of his final term, according to multiple legislative sources with knowledge of his plans.

Turzai (R., Allegheny) announced in January that he would not seek reelection this fall and would instead pursue a job in the private sector. Sources, who requested anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the speaker’s plans, said it was not clear when Turzai will depart, though he’s expected to outline a timetable Wednesday.

Lawmakers on Tuesday said Turzai told members that his family was coming to the Capitol this week for an announcement. In an interview, Turzai said he wants to have his family present when he shares some remarks with the House, though he declined to provide details.

“It’s an opportunity to speak to the members who have been my colleagues and friends from both sides of the aisle, and share some heartfelt recollections and lessons I think we learned in working together to make Pennsylvania better,” Turzai said early Tuesday evening.

2. Don't let the door hit you on the way out

He claims to have a job lined up in the private sector but I suspect it’s because of the (true) accusations that a Repug in the state legislature tested positive for Covid and the Democrats in the State House found out about it in the newspaper.
