(Feb 04, 2015) Rep. Pam Snyder
HARRISBURG, Feb. 4 – State Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington, today announced that more than $350,000 in state grants is coming to 34 fire and ambulance companies in the 50 th Legislative District. “First responders are at the core of public safety, and these grants enable them to focus more on saving our lives and properties rather than raising funds,” Snyder said. “These men and women make a tremendous sacrifice, and I applaud their service to our communities.” Funding for the 2014-15 Fire Company and Volunteer Ambulance Service Grant Program is generated from slot machine proceeds and not General Fund tax revenue, Snyder said.
