HARRISBURG, June 11 – Members of the Pennsylvania House Fire & EMS Caucus today issued the following statements on the Pennsylvania House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee’s approval of H.B. 2394 : “Our volunteer and professional firefighters put their lives on the line every time they respond to an emergency call. There are obvious risks when your job is to run toward a fire instead of away from it, said Rep. Greg Scott, D-Montgomery. “Still, among the leading causes of death for firefighters is not just fire-related injury, but cancer. Cancer we now know is caused by repeated exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, like PFAS, found in firefighting foams and protective gear. “Today’s committee approval of Representative Ciresi’s legislation to ensure all firefighters have access to annual cancer screenings is an important step in protecting our firefighting community and their families. I applaud the committee’s recognition of this often-invisible occupational hazard and their dedication to our volunteer and professional firefighters statewide.” "Cancer is a devastating diagnosis. But if caught early and treatment can start, outcomes can be greatly improved,” said Rep. Lisa Borowski, co-chair of the caucus. “Our first responders put their lives on the line every time they respond to Read more

“Today’s vote was simple. No one fleeing abuse should be forced to choose between their safety and financial ruin,” Borowski said. “Leaving an abuser cannot be an option limited to people with a savings account that has thousands of dollars to spare, and today’s bipartisan vote reflected that. I’m grateful to see urgency in tackling the most common form of violence in our communities.” Read more

Members of the Pennsylvania House Democratic Southeast Delegation today wrote to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to express their strong opposition to proposed gas and electric rate hikes by PECO, according to state Rep. Jennifer O’Mara, D-Delaware, the delegation chair. Read more
It’s been a busy two weeks since I last wrote. Last week in Harrisburg was crazy! So many advocates and stakeholders in the Capitol...I love when it is busy, but it was so full we almost exceeded the fire occupancy limits! There was so much interest in the legislation running. From raising the minimum wage and the Family Care Act to the first major piece of legislation to regulate data centers the House definitely had a lot going on. Read more
DELAWARE COUNTY, April 1 – On Monday, PECO filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission to significantly increase their gas and electric rates beginning next year. On average, these rate hikes would cost families an additional $20.08 per month for electricity and $14.52 per month for natural gas. Members of the Delaware County Legislative Delegation offered the following statements in response: “PECO’s request to raise their prices comes at a time when we’re already seeing unprecedented expenses for basic necessities due to rapid tech innovation, extreme federal actions and our county’s strained health care systems,” Rep. Gina Curry said. “This proposed increase is not just about dollars, it’s about equity. Our most vulnerable communities are already carrying the heaviest burden, and they should not be asked to pay more for basic necessities. Energy is a right, not a luxury.” “Our working families are contending with surging prices on everything from groceries to gasoline,” said Speaker of the House Joanna McClinton, D-Phila./Delaware. “In Harrisburg we’re working to help families manage the economic uncertainty stemming from mismanagement in Washington with policies like the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit, but a price hike in their monthly PECO bill makes it harder and harder for families to get ahead.” Read more
