“It remains a priority for me to ensure our veterans receive the benefits and services they have so honorably earned in service to our country,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “A good way to be sure that happens is to provide it to them at their place of employment. It is an easy ask of employers to simply post a pre-made poster or letter-sized document that is provided to them by the state in a conspicuous place so vets can easily access it.” Read more
“These are former teachers who taught our kids, PennDOT workers who answered the call to keep roadways safe, human services workers who helped those in need – they’ve served our communities, and they’ve waited too long for a COLA increase,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “They are a small group of individuals who were not included in the new COLA formula, but they are largely in their 80s and 90s. Many can barely afford to pay for food or needed prescriptions and, after all they have done for the commonwealth, it is unconscionable that we would not do right by them and provide this increase so they can pay for necessities like groceries.” Read more
“Following the loss of a loved one, many families face emotional and logistical challenges with arranging food and drink at a memorial, oftentimes on short notice,” said Deasy, who serves as the majority chair of the House Liquor Control Committee. “Current law requires businesses to give seven days’ notice to the Liquor Control Board for off-premises catering permits, a timeline that simply doesn’t work for many of these memorial events.” Read more
“This bill is a no-brainer,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “The information we want veterans to see is important to them for all sorts of reasons like access to vet programs on health care, mental health treatment, tax benefits, eligibility for benefits under the state and federal government, just to name a few. They’ve earned the right to have access to all of this and we simply want to make sure they see it.” Read more
“When a loved one passes away, we celebrate and honor their life,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “These celebrations are different for everyone but oftentimes, they are catered events with food and drink. They also may happen within days of the loved one’s passing and timing can be unexpected. Off-premise catering permits allow liquor licenses the flexibility in catering off-site locations.” Read more
“The people most affected by this bill have been retired for decades, were not part of the Act 9 increases, and are in their 80s and 90s,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “It is a finite group of individuals who will be affected, and they are most needy based on when they were last employed. We owe it to them to make it right. I’ve spoken to many who are unable to pay for food and medications. That is unacceptable for folks who gave so much to their communities and to our state.” Read more
