Brian's Briefing for August 1: New PECO grants for energy bills, local athletes in the news, and more

Dear Neighbor,

 

On July 14, the PA House passed the 2025-2026 state budget bill and sent it over to the Senate. Since then, it’s been sitting in committee and the state Senators have been home in their districts. They aren’t currently scheduled to return to Harrisburg until September.

 

The delay in finalizing a budget is starting to cause concern about cuts in funding for transit, schools, and programs. If the Senate doesn’t act soon, these concerns could become reality.

 

You can help by calling state Senators and letting them know you want them to get back to work on the budget. Call Senators Frank Farry at 215-638-1784, Tracy Pennycuick at 215-541-2388, and Joe Picozzi at 215-281-2539 and make your voice heard.

 

In Service,

New PECO Grants to Help with Utility Bills

Customers who qualify will get $500 in the form of credits on their PECO bill. To learn more, visit: PECO Customer Relief Fund | PECO - An Exelon Company.

 

 

Local Athletes in the News

Earlier this month, two Archbishop Wood graduates got some attention for their athletic successes in local news coverage.

 

Read about Andrew Funk’s run with the Sixers’ summer league in the Philadelphia Inquirer and Luke Cantwell’s pick by the San Diego Padres at the Bucks County Courier Times.

 

 

New Extended Office Hours!

Starting this month, our district office will be open for extended hours every second and fourth Wednesday of the month, by appointment only. We know it can be hard to make time to get to our office during normal business hours and we hope this adjustment makes it easier for you to get help when you need it. Give us a call at 215-323-6997 to schedule.
