The state budget affects your daily life, from the roads you drive on to the schools your children attend. That's why I'm excited to hear @governor.pa.gov's commitment to invest in our public schools, strengthen our infrastructure, and make Pennsylvania more affordable for working families.

One of my top priorities is to make sure you have access to the services you need close to where you live. My satellite office at the Plum Borough Library is open to assist you with state services from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM Mon-Fri, with extended hours until 6:00 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The Pennsylvania Senate hit the road this week! We traveled to Philadelphia and held a ceremonial session at the Constitution Center to commemorate the United States Semiquincentennial - 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

It matters when you call or email your elected officials and doing so makes your issues a higher priority. I sat down with the Foster Files Podcast to talk about animal protection here in Pennsylvania and how you can make a difference.

I had some help as I was back in Harrisburg this week, and he was eager to tell you about it. For the latest updates from Harrisburg and back home, like Nico told you, follow me on social media or sign up for our weekly email newsletter at pasenatornick.com/subscribe

Great to see East Allegheny Junior/Senior Orchestra performing in the East Wing of the State Capitol this week!

Today is the start of my favorite time of the year: Fish Fry Season. I stopped by West Wilmerding VFD for an excellent fish sandwich with Rep. Markosek. Be sure you get out there over the next few weeks to support our fire departments, churches, and other community organizations.

Baldwin High School is the only one in Allegheny County that offers classes in ASL. I recently dropped by Ms. Graney's ASL II class to see the students in action. They taught me a few signs and I learned just how important this program has become to Baldwin High School.

I was in Harrisburg this week for a budget hearing with the Senate Appropriations Committee. This first step in the budget process helps guide legislators as we work to negotiate a budget that funds everything from schools to public transit to senior services here in Allegheny County and across PA.

The price you pay for a loaf of bread shouldn't depend on when you go to the grocery store and it shouldn't change between getting the loaf off the shelf and getting to the checkout. I've introduced legislation to ban this practice, known as dynamic pricing, for essential goods like eggs and milk.

Americans are working harder & longer & still can't make ends meet. I'm proposing a bill to cut taxes for 130 million workers, paid for by a surtax on income over $1 million a year. It's time our tax code worked for working people & the wealthiest pay their fair share.

I am aware the sound is awful and that the truth in times of alternative truth is triggering. But Jesus was not American, he wouldn't even qualify as Israeli, but would be considered a Jewish Palestinian. He wouldn't be white, was persecuted. "Whatever you do for the least, you do for me."

The Chief Medical Officer for England, Professor Sir Chris Whitty suggests that whilst recent public health achievements include a reduction in smoking, that the healthcare sector has failed on childhood obesity. He suggests that current attitudes to the issue are morally unreasonable.
