LIVE WEDNESDAY: Utility prices continue to rise, putting a squeeze on families already strained by inflation, soaring housing costs and more. @repcephas.com & @repomara.com dig into what's behind the price of energy and what can be done to keep it affordable. Join us, or watch: PaHouse.com/Policy
Gas & diesel prices are through the roof - mostly because of Trumpโs bumbling of the Iran war. Corporate greed is another reason - companies are hoping you wonโt notice their price gouging.
@ryanbizzarro.bsky.social is pushing back with a bill to protect your wallet:
www.fox43.com/article/news...
More than $18.5 million in state funding is headed to Erie County โ a major win for safe water, stronger infrastructure, violence prevention, and more opportunities for kids to learn, grow, and stay active. This is what investing in our communities looks like. ๐ฑ๐๐ผ pahouse.com/Bizzarro/?id=143186
Pennsylvanians are getting hammered at the pump - and enough is enough. I first introduced this bill in 2022, and Iโm pushing again to stop gas price gouging, ban same-day price spikes, and hold bad actors accountable. People deserve fair prices.

Great to welcome my friend, Gov. Shapiro, back to Erie this week! He stopped at the JES for a community conversation, as part of his book tour, to talk about leadership, todayโs political climate, & the importance of bipartisan solutionsโwhile highlighting continued investments in our community.

Expanding the use of body cams by more law enforcement agencies ran into a snag - PA's wiretap law needs updated.
@rockcopeland.bsky.social saw the problem & asked @ryanbizzarro.bsky.social for help - now legislation is on the way:

Body cameras bring transparency, accountability, and protectionโfor both officers and the public. Iโm proud to be leading the effort to equip county probation officers with this critical tool and move Pennsylvania forward.
