The grants were awarded as part of the Digital Connectivity Technology Program (DCTP), a federal grant program designed to assist public institutions with acquiring digital devices needed to facilitate high-speed internet access in local communities. Organizations in the 35th Senatorial District are set to receive laptops through this grant program, helping more community members access high-speed internet. The following organizations were awarded:
2024 Holiday Drive
The 2024 Holiday Drive has begun! My office is once again collecting donations of toiletries, socks, gloves, hats, and blankets to help those in need this holiday season. Donations can be dropped off at my Richland District office, 999 Eisenhower Blvd., Suite E. The donations will be delivered to the Johnstown Family Soup Kitchen in time for Christmas. PA Supreme Court Rules Counties Must Comply with State Election Law
The state Supreme Court has reiterated its previous stance and ruled that undated or misdated mail ballots should not be counted in the 2024 election. It upholds prior rulings clarifying mail and absentee ballots that fail to comply with the Pennsylvania Election Code “shall not be counted” for the purposes of the Nov. 5 election. Bill Allowing Year-round Motorcycle Inspections Now Law
Legislation giving people who are trying to take safety precautions more convenience is now law after receiving unanimous Senate and House support. It allows year-round motorcycle safety inspections in Pennsylvania. Even though motorcycles can be purchased and driven on Pennsylvania roadways throughout the year, the state Vehicle Code previously only allowed safety inspections to be performed from March to October. The legislation eliminated the old restriction to give motorcycle operators more opportunities to complete required inspections. Motorcycle registration with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will continue to be tied to the month the vehicle is to be inspected. New Maple Map Paves the Way for a Tasty Treat
Pennsylvania maple is a true taste of fall, and it’s simpler than ever to enjoy maple syrup and related candies, popcorn and sauces produced right here in the commonwealth. The new Maple Map highlights local producers and businesses all across the state. Using the interactive mapping application makes it easy to find delicious snacks to help you enjoy the season. It also provides maple syrup recipes and a list of restaurants and coffee shops with maple menu offerings. |
