CARMICHAELS, Sept. 29 – State Rep. Pam Snyder has introduced a bill to help veterans’ service organizations, including the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars chapters, which have been financially impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington, said her measure would create a one-time grant program to help these struggling clubs with expenses they’ve incurred during the public health crisis. “These clubs provide so much to our communities, from blood drives, to youth sports, and the support to our local veterans,” Snyder said. “They’ve been hit extremely hard by this pandemic, and this grant program would be a huge help to them. My measure would also include a provision to ensure those service organizations that hold liquor licenses are not prohibited from operating solely because they don’t serve food, provided they continue to follow all other licensee rules.” More information on her bill can be found by clicking here .

CARMICHAELS, Sept. 23 – State Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington, issued a statement following a vote in the PA House that sustained the governor’s veto of H.B. 2787 , a bill that would have given school districts the authority to decide what sports and activities are allowed, including practices, games and spectator rules: “Our school districts know best what works for them and their students regarding sports and other extracurricular activities. They are the experts where it concerns their facilities and their communities, not the governor. “I have complete confidence in each of the school districts in my communities to conduct these events in a safe manner. Time and time again, I have voted in favor of these and other bills to allow our communities to decide what is best for them. I strongly believe in the right of our school districts to have the final say regarding how sports and other extracurricular activities are allowed and managed. “While I am disappointed in today’s vote, I will continue to support our school districts’ decisions to act in the best interest of students, parents and the community.” Snyder voted to override the veto.

CARMICHAELS, Sept. 8 – State Rep. Pam Snyder has announced restaurants will be allowed to increase their indoor occupancy to 50% capacity effective Sept. 21, provided they take part in a self-certification process to ensure they will comply with all public health and safety guidelines. “I’ve been advocating for my local restaurants for months and demanding the governor allow these establishments to reopen to at least 50% capacity,” said Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington. “While I agree we must all do our part to keep the virus from spreading, these businesses have been doing the right thing all along to keep their staff and customers safe. I applaud today’s decision because it will certainly help these businesses who have been taking a significant financial hit, and I will continue to push to allow our restaurants to fully reopen, because I know they can do so safely.” Last month, Snyder sent a letter to Gov. Tom Wolf , asking him to take immediate steps to help restaurants, including a return to the original 50% capacity restriction.
