Knoll Leaves Sessions Early
After-effects from a round of cancer treatment have caused tiredness and forced Lt. Governor Catherine Baker Knoll to leave Senate sessions early twice this week.
Knoll, 77, disclosed last month that she is being treated for neuroendocrine illness, and has been receiving chemotherapy.
She presided over a Senate session Wednesday, but left when lengthy closed political caucuses dragged on for most of the afternoon. She was there again this morning, but left before the full session had ended.
She went back to the lieutenant governor's official residence at Fort Indiantown Gap.
She will be at work next week when the Senate resumes work, according to her aide, Salvatore Sirabella.
In her absence, President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati has been presiding over the Senate.
