“The news of the fire at the Broad Street Market has sent waves of shock and sadness through Harrisburg,” Fleming said. “As a city resident for nearly 10 years I know we didn’t just lose a market, but a pillar of community life here. I am touched to see so many in our community reaching out with the desire to help the affected vendors during this difficult time. This is what community is all about, and it is a sign to me that Broad Street Market will rise again. We, your representatives, are firm in our resolve to help rebuild the damaged brick building quickly so that the vendors and their patrons can soon return to the restored Broad Street Market.” Read more
HARRISBURG, July 6 – State Rep. Justin Fleming, D-Dauphin, today issued the following statement regarding the state budget passed by the General Assembly: “Last night in a bipartisan vote, the House of Representatives passed the 2023-24 state budget, which now goes to Governor Shapiro's desk for approval. I have spoken to many residents in Lower Paxton, Penbrook, and Susquehanna Township about their priorities, and I'm pleased that this budget addresses some of those priorities. While there is more to be done, this budget makes historic investments in education, public safety, health care, community and economic development, and much more. “Additionally, House Bill 1100 was sent to the governor's desk. This bill would raise the income limits for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program from $35,000 to $45,000 and provide for larger rebates for eligible participants. The passage of this bill will bring relief for thousands of seniors across the Commonwealth. Fleming noted some of the critical investments included in the 2023-24 budget: Education $567 million increase for Basic Education Funding. $50 million increase for Special Education Funding. $46.5 million for universal school breakfast. $10 million to provide annual stipends to student teachers. Economic Development $23.5 million for workforce training and career & technical education. $6 million for apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs. $20 Read more
HARRISBURG, June 28 – A bill sponsored by Rep. Justin Fleming, D-Dauphin, that would make it easier for property owners to repudiate discriminatory deed covenants passed the House today. A covenant stipulates what existing or future owners can and cannot do to the property. Racially discriminatory real estate covenants were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948 under the Shelley v. Kraemer decision, ruling that these covenants are unenforceable under the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. In addition, the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited deed covenants that discriminate against protected classes. Although these covenants are no longer enforceable, Fleming said this harmful and discriminatory language still exists in many property deeds. Fleming’s bill ( H.B. 1289 ) impacts all restrictive covenants for classes of individuals covered under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act and would allow a property owner to repudiate the covenant. Under the bill, a property owner or homeowner association could file a form with the county’s recorder of deeds office to repudiate a restrictive covenant at little or no cost. "The shameful legacy of restrictive covenants and practices like redlining have created massive inequality in wealth and home ownership rates among people of different races,” Fleming said. “This legislation would make it Read more

The two legislators will serve as chairmen of the caucus. “Pennsylvania residents need future-focused legislators who are willing to reach across the aisle to have important conversations about divisive issues, and the Bipartisan Future Caucus is providing a forum for just that,” said Kutz. “I am excited to collaborate with Rep. Fleming and my colleagues to advance legislation that will benefit the Commonwealth for generations to come. The Future Caucus knows more unites than divides us and is ready to get to work.” “There is no doubt we have challenges before us. The cost of childcare, higher education and home ownership are all rising, and Pennsylvania voters have demanded we work in a bipartisan manner to address these issues,” said Fleming. “The Future Caucus hopes that, through collaboration and open dialogue, we can put aside the hyper-partisan rancor and imbue faith in government to current and future generations of Pennsylvanians.” The Future Caucus is comprised of a bipartisan group of legislators aged 45 and younger who are looking to foster a generational shift toward collaboration and bipartisanship.

HARRISBURG, April 13 – State Rep. Justin Fleming, D-Dauphin, today announced he has introduced legislation that would introduce a new multi-person household income limit for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program. “The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is a wonderful program, but unfortunately many seniors on fixed incomes who have higher expenses due to being married or living in a multi-person household are not eligible for the program, leaving them behind,” Fleming said. “I’m working to ensure that seniors in our district and across Pennsylvania are provided with the assistance they need, no matter what type of household they are living in. I hope others will join me in supporting seniors.” House Bill 873 would impose a multi-person household income limit for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, separate from a single-person household income limit. The current income limit would remain for a single-person household, while the income limit for a multi-person household would be $55,000 for homeowners and $22,500 for renters.

I’m excited about the opportunity to join with my colleagues to face these challenges in a bipartisan manner.” “Pennsylvanians need forward-thinking legislators who are willing to work across the aisle and focus on results that will benefit the Commonwealth for generations to come,” Kutz said. “I’m thrilled to chair this caucus with Rep.
