Pennsylvania’s Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program helps older friends and neighbors stay in their homes while affording life’s necessities. My staff will hold a clinic to help local residents apply from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, at Community Library of Allegheny County in Natrona Heights.

The program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 or older, widows and widowers 50 or older, and people with disabilities 18 or older. Rebates range from $380 to $1,000.

Learn more about the program here. The graphic below lists the information to bring with you to apply.

I’m partnering with the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department for my annual Concealed Carry Permit and Safety Seminar on Saturday, March 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The seminar will be held at Harrison Township Citizens Hose Fire & EMS, 965 Burtner Rd., Natrona Heights.

Attendees can obtain or renew their concealed carry permits through the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department and learn about the rules and regulations for firearm transport and safety. My staff and I will also be available to assist with any state-related questions or concerns.

Visit here to RSVP. Please bring your completed application for a PA license to carry firearms from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department, which is available here. You also may stop by my office to pick up an application.

Working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death from home fires in half, which is why I’m joining the American Red Cross and Southern Allegheny Valley Emergency Services to install free smoke alarms in Sharpsburg and Aspinwall on Saturday, March 28. To make an appointment, or for additional information, call 412-263-5278.

I was thrilled to present a House citation to Lou Costanzo, who has volunteered as a firefighter for 50 years. He currently volunteers with Southern Allegheny Valley Emergency Services and serves as assistant chief of the Sharpsburg District.

Sometimes it feels like there aren’t many heroes left, but walk into your local fire station and you’ll see them.

Thank you, Lou, for showing up for us for 50 years.
