Supporting Hunters Sharing the Harvest

As treasurer of the bipartisan Pennsylvania Sportsmen’s Caucus, I was excited to present our biggest check yet to the amazing people at Hunters Sharing the Harvest last week. This trailblazing organization connects generous hunters to food banks, soup kitchens, and community pantries. A lot of hard work by some very dedicated people went into this, and I’m proud to be a small part of it.

Next month: Free smoke alarms in

Cheswick, Springdale Township and Harmarville

Working smoke alarms can reduce the risk of death in a home fire by 50%. That’s why I’m joining the American Red Cross and Allegheny Valley V.F.C. to install free smoke alarms on Saturday, July 25, in Cheswick, Springdale Township, and Harmarville. To schedule an appointment or learn more, call 412-263-5278.

A successful Seniors for Safe Driving event

I was pleased to see so many people attend my Seniors for Safe Driving class at the Sharpsburg Senior Center last week. Approved by PennDOT, the course helps drivers age 55 and older refresh their driving skills and qualify for a 5% discount on their auto insurance. If you weren’t able to attend, don’t worry—I’ll be offering the class again in the future. Keep an eye on my newsletters for details about upcoming sessions!

Grants available for electric vehicle charging stations

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is now accepting applications for grants to support the installation of electric vehicle charging stations. Contractors who are installing publicly accessible community chargers may apply by August 21. The grants can be used for planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of charging stations throughout Pennsylvania.

Partnering with the county to help you with
tax and licensing matters

I’m offering a new service this year at my Cheswick office. Once a month through September, I will host a representative from Allegheny County Treasurer Erica Rocchi Brusselars’ office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Residents can take advantage of these special days and hours at my office, located at 1296 Pittsburgh St., to pay county property taxes, apply for the Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion or Senior Citizen Tax Relief programs, or obtain hunting, fishing, or dog licenses.

Mark your calendars with the dates and times on the graphic above!

Veterans services at my office

Twice a month, a Veterans Service Officer (VSO) will be at my Cheswick office, 1296 Pittsburgh St., to assist veterans with a variety of services. The VSO will be available on the third Wednesday and Thursday of each month.

Call to schedule an appointment at (724) 826-5151.
