Rising cost of living, especially untilities. I have requested PUC hearings in my district for residents to testify on the impact to their household finances and I introduced legislation that created the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit.
I support open primaries to increase access to voters. Independents should not be left out. i also believe the state should appropriate more funding to elections, which are largely left to counties currently.
The real negotiations must begin in March after the Budget Appropriations hearings all of February.
Yes, the state should act and we are deliberating model ordiance legislation right now. This would not preclude counties from drafting their own ordinances however.
