State Reps. Roni Green and Tarik Khan, both D-Phila., and other state representatives will circulate a co-sponsorship memo next week for a bipartisan House bill addressing lead contamination in drinking water in Pennsylvania schools. They are being joined by state Reps. Abby Major, R-Armstrong/Westmoreland; Jim Haddock, D-Lackawanna/Luzerne; Jason Ortitay, R-Allegheny/Washington; and Joe Hogan, R-Bucks, as prime co-sponsors of this bill. “This legislation corrects a longstanding problem within our schools across the commonwealth,” Green said. “Children have a right to be in a safe environment, have clean drinking water, and maximize their learning journey free from harm and hazardous particles. It’s unacceptable to still have children being exposed to lead while in school. Our bill ensures that all Pennsylvania children’s rights are respected and that our children can be safe from lead exposure in school.” Green pointed out that this legislation is like a bill passed last year by the Philadelphia City Council and signed into law. This legislation would require the replacement of old drinking fountains with lead-filtering water stations by 2025 and direct funding to help school districts achieve this goal. The other sponsors noted their support for the bill. “As a state representative, one of my top priorities is keeping the children in my community safe,” Haddock said. “This bill will help schools in Read more

PA state Rep. Roni Green hits the Philly airwaves to encourage everyone to contact their state Senator and tell them to pass the minimum wage increase legislation that the House sent to them in June. Read more
HARRISBURG, Sept. 27 – State Rep. Roni Green, D-Phila., said she is excited for the working people of New Jersey following the recent announcement that the minimum wage in that state would increase to $15.13 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2024. “If they can do it across the Delaware, we can do it here,” Green said. “We need to be proactive about raising wages here in Pennsylvania; otherwise, our neighboring states will leave us further behind as their economies grow and strengthen. Working people deserve a fair wage, and raising the minimum wage is the first step toward that end.” As a longtime labor organizer and proponent of increasing the minimum wage in Pennsylvania, Green has supported legislation that would increase the minimum wage in Pennsylvania, such as that which the House passed in June. Green said she hopes Senate Republicans do the right thing, take up H.B. 1500 , and give more than 1 million Pennsylvanians a pay raise. Read more
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30 – In response to a series of violent incidents involving landlord-tenant officers taking place in the city, members of the Philadelphia House Delegation today said the organization has been working hand in hand with the House Housing and Community Development Committee to help end the practice of private contractors performing eviction services. As part of this collaboration, both organizations held a public hearing Tuesday in the Philadelphia City Council Chambers on proposed reforms regarding landlord and tenant officers and evictions. Rep. Morgan Cephas, chair of the Philadelphia House Delegation, explained that a vital concern is that the eviction services are executed by people without the proper training, and carrying guns. “Moving forward there needs to be accountability and transparency with an agency that is responsible to the citizens of Philadelphia,” Cephas said. “We are determined to take this task away from the unaccountable, private entities. “We respect the need for landlords to run their business and receive their payments in a timely manner. However, the need for compassionate, respectful interaction with tenants was made obvious in the hearing,” she added. Rep. Mike Sturla, chair of the PA House Housing and Community Development Committee, highlighted that when it comes to housing it is important to look at the Read more
