Philly District Attorney Larry Krasner addresses Act 40, SEPTA violence and more in the latest episode of Battleground Politics with Lauren Mayk.
Philly District Attorney Larry Krasner addresses Act 40, SEPTA violence and more in the latest episode of Battleground Politics with Lauren Mayk, a new law sponsored by Republican State Senator Wayne Langerholc, that would give a special prosecutor jurisdiction over any crime committed on SEPTA’s property.
The bill was passed by lawmakers in Harrisburg and signed into law by Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro in December 2023. “It’s concurrent jurisdiction,” Shapiro said. “Something that already exists in our laws and it was voted on and passed by state representatives and senators from Philadelphia and the surrounds where SEPTA is to provide that level of authority and the attorney general is elected by the people of Pennsylvania as well.
Krasner has publicly disagreed with Shapiro’s stance on the law however and has argued that Act 40 goes against the will of voters who elected him twice as Philadelphia’s district attorney. In the latest episode of Battleground Politics, Krasner spoke with Lauren Mayk about Act 40, the recent violence on and near SEPTA properties, working with the new Parker administration and whether or not he plans to run for a third term.
