McNeill to host ‘Pot of Gold’ unclaimed property search event

(Mar 11, 2022)

WHITEHALL, March 11 -- State Rep. Jeanne McNeill, D-Lehigh, will host an unclaimed property search event on Thursday, March 17 at her district office to aid residents of the 133rd District in claiming what is rightfully theirs. “One in 10 Pennsylvania residents are owed unclaimed property from the state treasury,” said McNeill. “This could be uncashed checks, lost bonds, stocks, refunds, closed bank accounts and more. The Pennsylvania Treasurer's Office is holding more than $4 billion in unclaimed property, and a ‘pot of gold’ could be waiting for folks right here in Lehigh County.” According to McNeill, unclaimed property may include: Closed bank accounts. Uncashed checks, including paychecks. Lost stocks and bonds. Contents of safe deposit boxes. Proceeds from the demutualization of insurance companies. Expired gift cards/gift certificates. “What better way to mark St. Patrick’s Day then to hold an event in my district office to aid residents in a search of the state’s database,” McNeill said. “Perhaps the ‘luck of the Irish’ will strike!” No appointments are needed for the event, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents can also call 610-266-1273 and a member of McNeill’s staff will help complete the search over the phone. McNeill cautions residents to ignore any solicitations that offer to conduct searches of the database for a fee, as Read more

Stop stalling! The time for passing legislation to protect animals is now!

(Mar 07, 2022)

Early in the month, pet owners like myself filled social media feeds with photos of their furry family members to mark “National Pet Day,” leaving no doubt how many Americans adore cats and dogs alike, considering animals as not just and addition to, but also an extension of, their human family. In my case, it was ahead of a news conference at my district office in Lehigh County, one intended to provide updates on several key pieces of legislation aimed at curbing animal cruelty and neglect. While these pieces of legislation -- H.B. 1299 , H.B. 526 , and H.B. 459 -- have enormous bipartisan support (at least on the surface), they remain destined to die in committee before ever coming before the entire House for consideration. The resulting consequences are: continued suffering for animals; an underfunded/understaffed Bureau of Dog Enforcement program that faces continuing funding adversity, operating as best as it can; convicted animal abusers still owning, possessing, controlling or working with animals; irresponsible breeders/puppy mills freely continuing their inhumane breeding practices and treatment of animals; no recourse or protections for consumers who find themselves facing unknown financial burdens due to poor veterinary care and other issues impacting animals born from a severely tragic and brutal industry. Rather than move on legislation that clearly makes sense, has support, and would bring an end to the horrors associated with overbreeding, Read more
