Proposed bill would provide resources to help solve unsolved violent crimes in Pennsylvania
(WHTM) — A bipartisan bill aims to help solve unsolved crimes in Pennsylvania. The House bill is called 'The Victims Act.' It would give law enforcement more resources through grants to solve violent crimes, including murder, rape, and kidnapping. The bill's sponsors say 65% of violent crimes in Pennsylvania are not solved. 'Because we didn't solve the crime the first time, this violent offender has stayed on our streets and has created more victims,' said Rep. Jordan Harris (D-Philadelphia) 'It's a deterrent to solve these crimes is going to deter people from committing violent crimes. It would be criminals who know that they're going to be caught, prosecuted, and go to jail for either the rest of their lives or a long time. They're going to not commit these crimes, and are going to think twice about it,' said Rep. Joe Kerwin (R-Dauphin) The House Judiciary Committee passed the bill yesterday. It now goes to the full house. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Seniors danced the night away to celebrate love at the annual Sweetheart Dance in South Philadelphia
Valentine's Day may be days away, but seniors in South Philadelphia got an early start on the celebration, dancing the night away at the annual Senior Sweetheart Dance on Wednesday. Hosted by Pennsylvania State Rep. Jordan Harris (D-186th District), the event has been a tradition for the past 11 years. It offers seniors an evening of music, food and community. "There's free food, there's dancing, there's health care information," Harris said. "And if I may say so myself, there have been a couple folks that have met here and are now married." Beyond the entertainment, attendees could access resources about physical and mental health, connect with local vendors and get help with state government-related matters. Among the couples in attendance were Edward and Eleanor Smith, who met at a class reunion nearly a decade ago and have been married for eight years. "I followed her the whole night, pulled out her chair, and was there for her every time she wanted to do something," Edward Smith said. "We danced." And on this night, they were still dancing. For Phyllis Thomas, the evening was a bittersweet reminder of the love she shared with her late husband, who made a bold promise on their first date. "He told me he was going to marry me," she said. "And we were happily married for 30 years before he passed away of cancer. He showed me what real love was." Harris, who lost his own wife to cancer last year, understands the pain of losing a soulmate. "It's tough for me as well," he said. "But it does bring me joy to see so many people here celebrating love and community." As the night came to a close, guests shared their advice for lasting love. "Respect each other and never go to bed mad at each other," Thomas said. "Stay in touch with God," the Smiths added. "Say, 'Thank you, I love you, dear.'"
