Harrisburg lost one of its iconic buildings this week. The Broad Street Market has stood as a centerpiece for our community since 1878 and was one of my favorite places to visit. Thank you, Josh Shapiro, for joining us as we work to restore this historic building. Read more
As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I am working with committee Chairman Jordan Harris to see what state resources we can tap to aid in the restoration of our historic market. Ensuring that we get the Broad Street buildings restored to their original luster and safe for use is at the top of my priorities. I am also exploring ways to help the businesses that operate inside the market get up and running again. Harrisburg Fire Co. was promptly on the scene to extinguish the fire and to ensure no one was in danger. Thanks to their rapid response, the fire was contained to the brick building and the 1863 stone building remains undamaged. Their hard work this morning, and every day, is greatly appreciated.

"We certainly do not want to force businesses to adapt to new regulations,” Madsen said. “This idea is our way of introducing a cultural change to our workforce that business owners can experiment with and evaluate for themselves as to whether or not it’s worthwhile. This proposal in question will extend tax breaks to companies who voluntarily reduce employees' working hours, without reducing pay or benefits. It’s a win-win for everyone involved, including PA residents when we reap the benefits of a happy and healthy workforce." Read more
HARRISBURG, April 25 – Today, state Reps. Elizabeth Fiedler, D-Phila.; Dave Madsen, D-Dauphin; and House Democratic Appropriations Chair Jordan Harris, D-Phila.; joined a tour of the solar panel array at Steelton-Highspire High School. The tour was hosted by Generation 180, a nonprofit organization working to inspire and equip people to adopt clean energy. Last year, Steelton-Highspire School District unveiled a solar panel field to power the district’s schools and buildings. Fiedler recently introduced ‘Solar for Schools’ legislation that would create a grant program to fund solar energy projects at school districts, intermediate units, community colleges, and career and technical schools. She said she was pleased to see Steelton-Highspire’s new solar panel field. “Today, we got to see how much positive change solar panel arrays can bring to schools like Steelton-Highspire,” Fiedler said. “If we pass Solar for Schools legislation, we can save schools thousands each year in energy costs, bring federal money for green energy projects back to Pennsylvania, generate good-paying jobs for skilled workers, reduce pollution, create opportunities for hands-on education, and inspire a new generation of leaders.” Madsen, whose legislative district includes Steelton-Highspire School District, praised the school’s leadership. “I am proud of Read more

HARRISBURG, March 8 – State Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler, D-Phila., today hosted a news conference where she introduced legislation that would create a grant program to expand the use of solar energy at school facilities across Pennsylvania. The grant program, “Solar for Schools,” would issue grants to schools for solar energy projects, including costs related to equipment, installation and maintenance of solar energy systems. “This 21st-century landmark program can save local taxpayers and school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars a year,” Fiedler said. “With the savings, local governments can reduce taxes and schools can invest in more teachers. In addition to all those benefits, solar schools projects have immense local benefits such as reducing carbon emissions and creating family sustaining jobs.” At the legislation roll-out, Fiedler was joined today by labor, educational and environmental leaders. The list of labor unions and organizations supporting the legislative effort includes: the PA and Philadelphia Building Trades, AFT PA, PA and Philadelphia AFL-CIO, LIUNA and IBEW. Rob Bair, president of the Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades, said the grant program would create great opportunities for Pennsylvania. “As the sun rises on a new administration, labor and the state legislature can capture that sunlight and turn it into family sustaining jobs, lower energy costs for consumers, and Read more
