Our Pennsylvania gas tax money is coming back to the 157th district! Recently PennDOT announced that approximately $1.8 million funded from gas tax revenue will be reinvested back into our municipalities. This money will help fund road and bridge maintenance in our community!

Recently, Governor Shapiro announced a comprehensive plan to address housing insecurity throughout our Commonwealth. We all deserve a place to call home and I am happy to help execute this alongside Gov. Shapiro.

This plan will help to make owning and renting a home affordable to all Pennsylvanians. Some of the initiatives announced include cutting red tape to make it easier to build more affordable homes, expanding the Property Tax and Rent Rebate program to keep seniors in their homes, and setting limits on how high rent for manufactured homes can be set.

SEPTA recently announced they will be altering the current bus network. These changes aim to improve efficiency and reach. These modifications will be rolled out in phases.

In preparation for this new plan SEPTA will be holding in-person Open Houses and Information Sessions, along with public hearings. You can speak with them directly at the Paoli Library on Tuesday, March 24th from 4:00 - 6:00 PM, or at SEPTA Headquarters (1234 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107) on Wednesday, April 15 at 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
