The cost of goods and services. Well-trained workforces are critical in attracting manufacturing to Pa. and bringing jobs, which in turn helps to drive a solid, stable local economy. I will continue to support vocational education and technical training thru adequate CTE funding for our schools. Assure our standards for licensed workforces are cooperative and can compete with surrounding states.
Taxes. Always a priority but still hasn't been resolved. One step is to move toward fully funded schools which could nearly eliminate taxes for many residents.
Allow early voting; allow same-day registration; allow pre-canvassing; provide mail ballot drop boxes; provide all election/voting information in more than English - both online and paper.
Legislation that ensures equal and equitable funding for every school district and every child in Pa. Re-examine programs like Hold Harmless to be sure school districts are fairly funded not being over- or underfunded.
State employees who are paying for medical insurance should be able to access insurance when necessary.
Language should be included in the bill to assure the right to abortion as health care.
