Bald eagle’s nest found near I-80

Archaeologists recently discovered what is believed to be a bald eagle nesting along the I-80 corridor. Federal guidelines require a 660-foot buffer around bald eagle nests. You can read more about it here and also watch this WFMZ news story.

PennDOT does not care about the community and project like we do and they haven’t since day one. It’s time for PennDOT to recognize the I-80 project needs to be scaled back. Text Gov. Josh Shapiro and tell him to get him involved too: text him at 717-788-8990.

Every child deserves health care

The Children’s Health Insurance Program provides health insurance for children and teens who need it. It’s not only for families with low incomes — some parents may think their children don’t qualify for CHIP because they earn too much, but that’s not the case.

CHIP covers uninsured kids and teens up to age 19 who are not eligible for Medical Assistance. Apply today: chipcoverspakids.com.

Support Domestic Violence Prevention Month

Pennsylvania offers free resources, services, and support for victims and survivors of domestic violence, and I want to make sure you know they are available. The state Department of Human Services has more information here.
