Our retired police officers and firefighters are now one step closer to receiving financial relief as my bill (HB 1379) to provide them with a pension increase has passed the PA House. These public servants have not received a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in 22 years, just like the many retired teachers and state workers for whom my bill also would provide relief. I am now calling on the PA Senate to take action and help our retired public servants keep up with rising costs. Click here to read more. Read more

I am proud to announce that another piece of legislation that I sponsored is now law. HB 1567 allows tenants to remain in their homes while repairs are being done as long the local municipal code enforcement officer deems it safe to do so. Under previous law, tenants were required to vacate the premises while property violations were being corrected. This legislation helps spare tenants the stress and inconvenience of finding alternate living arrangements while still encouraging property owners to make necessary repairs. New occupants will still not be allowed to move into a property with a temporary access certificate that is undergoing repairs. Read more
