PHILADELPHIA, July 12 – State Reps. Joanna McClinton, Stephen Kinsey, Chris Rabb, Summer Lee and Sara Innamorato joined advocates and restaurant workers in support of increasing the minimum wage in Pennsylvania. The group marched from the Pennsylvania Convention Center to El Fuego restaurant, where the legislators served food and drink to customers and addressed how a minimum wage hike would improve the lives of thousands of workers in the commonwealth. McClinton said, “Every state surrounding Pennsylvania has increased its minimum wage and yet it remains stagnant here in the commonwealth. It is antiquated and, at this point, disgraceful. Too many Pennsylvanians must continue to work for what amounts to nothing in today’s economy, still struggling well below the poverty line to pay bills and provide for their families. An increased and fair wage would give these people more purchasing power and the ability to afford necessities, contributing more to our overall economy.” Kinsey said, "Our communities of color shouldn't have to choose between paying the bills and putting food on the table. I was proud to join Restaurant Opportunities Centers United and other advocates in fighting to raise the minimum wage across the commonwealth so hardworking Pennsylvanians can afford to support their families and live their lives." Rabb has legislation that would raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania to $12 an hour , then increase it each year Read more

HARRISBURG, March 20 – House Democratic lawmakers, in response to widespread concerns about patients and clients in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and long-term care homes not getting the quality care they deserve, announced a comprehensive package of bills to protect seniors and give family members the vital information they need to make the right choice for their grandparents and parents. As pension plans increasingly become a thing of the past and families become smaller and unable to care for elderly relatives in their own homes, House Democrats believe people need to know the long-term care options for their loved ones are the best possible – because, someday, we’ll all need a place to call home. While most facilities do a good job caring for patients and clients, as well as providing a stable place of employment for healthcare professionals, seniors, families and potential employees need the facts and protections these bills would deliver. The Promise of Care package includes: Making a Home truly a Home (Sponsored by Rep. Angel Cruz): A long-term care home shouldn’t feel like a hospital ward. This bill creates a voluntary Culture & Quality of Life Certification Program that would reward homes that go the extra mile to offer a rich, life-affirming program that treats residents like the individual people they are.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 18 – State Rep. Sara Innamorato, D-Allegheny, today hosted the House Democratic Policy Committee at New Sun Rising for a discussion about how government and businesses can work together to enhance neighborhoods and ensure all residents benefit from development coming to their communities. Innamorato was joined by Policy Committee Chairman Mike Sturla and legislators from across the state, where they heard about the needs of local entrepreneurs and nonprofits, Main Street businesses and community development organizations. “I think it’s important we look at ways to revitalize our communities while keeping things affordable. We want business owners to afford rent in a great shop, and our neighbors to afford housing that doesn’t price them out of their communities and allows them to still enjoy all the neighborhood has to offer,” explained Innamorato. Sturla added, “At the core of today’s discussion is the notion that as we work to improve communities across Pennsylvania, we can’t price residents out of their homes. Representative Innamorato hosted a great discussion on how members of the community can come together to enhance neighborhoods without chasing homeowners, renters and small businesses away.” The committee heard testimony from: Councilwoman Deborah Gross, District 7, Pittsburgh City Council; Robert Rubinstein, executive director, Urban Redevelopment Authority; Celeste Scott, housing Read more
