Wolf thinks Metcalfe should lose committee chair

Governor Tom Wolf wants state House leaders to consider removing Representative Daryl Metcalfe as chairman of the State Government Committee.  Wolf said yesterday that comments Metcalfe made to a colleague Tuesday were offensive and discriminatory and called them part of a disturbing pattern of behavior.  Wolf asked House leadership to re-examine whether it is appropriate for Metcalfe to control a committee that oversees civil rights legislation.  Metcalfe made the remarks after the male colleague touched his arm during a meeting saying in part, "I'm a heterosexual. I don't like men, as you might."
