DCIU Audit Findings by the Pennsylvania Auditor General

(Oct 29, 2026)

The Auditor General’s report released this week regarding the Delaware County Intermediate Unit includes recommendations for increased internal controls over contracting and the use of taxpayer funds. DCIU provides important resources and programs for Delaware County, supporting students, families, and educators across the region. Ensuring the integrity of its administrative and fiscal operations is essential to preserving that mission and maintaining public trust. Administrative and fiscal practices that ensure the DCIU remains a good steward of commonwealth resources, and delivers on its mission, are critical. We encourage the DCIU and the Auditor General’s office to continue working together and to act promptly on the recommendations that are expected following the completion of this process. Delaware County taxpayers deserve clarity on how public funds are being used, and transparency will be critical as these matters are addressed. We appreciate the Auditor General’s work in conducting this audit and bringing these matters to light. We remain committed to ensuring that taxpayer resources are used responsibly and in accordance with state law, and we will continue proactive efforts to ensure that the DCIU is following the appropriate financial, administrative, and transparency requirements expected of any public entity.

Hohenstein, state lawmakers award $150,000 in state funding to New Leash on Life USA at adoption event

(Sep 28, 2026)

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28 – On Friday evening, New Leash on Life USA held a dog adoption event at Philadelphia Brewing Company which kicked off with state Rep. Joe Hohenstein presenting a $150,000 check to New Leash. New Leash on Life USA is a Pennsylvania-based non-profit organization that leverages the bond between humans and dogs to restore hope and healing to transform lives. The program rescues at-risk dogs and works with justice-involved individuals in both prison and community settings to create fresh starts. “The world is a better place when people get second chances. The same is true for our canine companions,” said Hohenstein, D-Phila. “I am proud to support New Leash on Life, which gives those second chances. Their programs provide skills, connection and dignity to people involved in the criminal justice system and dogs caught in shelters with no future in sight. The results speak for themselves as prisoners and pitbulls share the pursuit of happiness and community.” Marian Marchese, founder and CEO of New Leash on Life USA, expressed the organization’s gratitude to the legislators who fought for this funding. “New Leash on Life USA is extremely grateful for the Commonwealth's support of our innovative Prison Reentry Program at SCI Chester that leverages the power of the human-animal bond,” Marchese said. “Our participants and rescue dogs help each other Read more
