Community forum on interacting with law enforcement
|
I’m partnering with the Pennsylvania State Police to host a community forum on First Amendment rights and interactions with law enforcement. These are timely issues, and I’m grateful that the State Police can help increase our understanding of them.
The forum will be held on Thursday, Aug. 20, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Highlands High School Auditorium. A State Police community ambassador will provide an informative video presentation and lead a question-and-answer session on a range of topics related to interactions between residents and law enforcement.
I hosted a forum on this topic in April, and you can read news coverage about it here

Stay safe and cool in Allegheny County this summer
|
?To help everyone stay safe when temperatures rise, I want to share some important tips and resources from state and county officials:
Be sure to check on neighbors, friends, and relatives—especially older adults, those with health conditions, and those without air conditioning—and remember these additional heat-related tips from the Allegheny County Emergency Services:
- Limit time outdoors, especially at midday.
- Never leave kids or pets in a car.
- If you need to be outdoors, be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion: dizziness, nausea, headache, or excessive sweating.
- When in doubt, take a break, cool down and seek help.

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 for our next session on Sept. 14!
