In this Update:
Meeting with Pennsylvania Farm Bureau Members
This week in Harrisburg, I met with Pennsylvania Farm Bureau members, alongside state Reps. Mike Armanini and Dallas Kephart, to discuss agricultural concerns and pending legislation. It was a great opportunity to hear from farmers directly on how we can better the agriculture industry across Pennsylvania! Visit to Park Forest Middle School
I visited the Park Forest Middle School in Centre County this week. Thank you to Mr. Rich Schmidt for the invitation, as well as his students for the questions and conversation on current Pennsylvania legislation. During my visit, I had the pleasure of meeting certified therapy dogs Paisley and Lucy. Thank you to school nurse Allison Snyder for sharing them with me! Kastle Boxing Chili Cook-Off
I joined state Rep. Jim Rigby for the Kastle Boxing chili cook-off in Johnstown. Later in the week, I visited Kastle Boxing to spar a few rounds. Flood City Jiu Jitsu Event
I also had a great day with Flood City Jiu Jitsu in Johnstown supporting the Stork Project. Senate Bill Aids Pennsylvanians with Communication Impairments
The Senate approved a voluntary ID designation for Pennsylvanians who have communication impairments such as deafness, hearing loss, and autism, to help ensure clearer, safer interactions with law enforcement. Under Senate Bill 802, individuals with communication impairments could apply for the designation free of charge, with a doctor’s sign-off, through a process similar to obtaining a handicap parking placard. The designation would appear as a symbol on a driver’s license or state-issued ID card, alerting officers of potential communication difficulties during traffic stops or other interactions. At least 32 other states have implemented similar measures. Senate Bill 802 was sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. PennDOT Winter Service Survey
Motorists have until April 14 to provide feedback on Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) services this winter through its latest anonymous online survey. The 17-question survey asks respondents about their timeline expectations for safe and passable roadways, how they rank snow-removal priorities and how they rate snow removal and other PennDOT winter services. Respondents are also asked how they receive PennDOT roadway information, and whether or how they use the state’s 511PA traveler information services. PA Bald Eagle Cam
The Pennsylvania Game Commission livestream of a bald eagle nest in Codorus State Park in York County offers viewers an incredible look at a pair of eagles and their three eggs. The nest has never seen three eggs in one season since the webcam first started in January 2015. The eggs were laid in early March and typically take around 35 days to hatch, so viewers could see eaglets emerging in the coming days. Forty years ago, Pennsylvania had only three bald eagle nests left in the entire state before the birds were brought back. We’re now home to more than 300 nests. The livestream is run through a Game Commission partnership with Comcast Business, HDOnTap and local property owners. Property Tax/Rent Rebate Application Assistance

On April 7 at the Frank J. Pasquerilla Conference Center in Johnstown, we will be hosting a seminar with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office to go over the top 10 scams targeting seniors and how to prevent them. I had the opportunity to speak about the event on the Fox 8 WWCP TV News Now program, which will air Monday, April 6, at 9:00 a.m. and again after the 10:00 p.m. news.
