]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2025 22:25:00 EST I asked state Treasurer Stacy Garrity about the long-term sustainability of this year’s proposed $51.4 billion budget. More specifically, I asked about the consequences of relying on our reserves to fund it.

]]> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 18:36:00 EST Education funding has a been at the forefront of discussions in Harrisburg. I’m looking out for our region, and I asked the Acting Secretary of Education why our school districts do not receive our fair share of funding as the fastest growing region in the entire Commonwealth. When the Acting Secretary responded that the formula was working as designed, I reminded her that the formula fails to account for population growth and has left taxpayers in Cumberland County holding the bag and facing tax increases year after year. Our seniors in particular cannot afford more property tax increases, and it’s unfair that our districts receive far less from the state than our similarly situated districts in other regions.
