    Legislative Locator Legislative Locator A Monthly Publication of The Pennsylvania Municipal League June 2019 TAKE ACTION! Ask Your House Member to Cosponsor Reps. Greiner and Grove’s Pension Sustainability Plan Representatives Greiner (R-Lancaster) and Seth Grove (R-York) has put forth cosponsorship memo HCO2187. Their bill is slated to make changes to municipal pensions based on Auditor General DePasquale’s 2015 Municipal Pension Task Force Report to Governor Wolf. Provisions of their bill for new hires include – capping overtime at 10% of salary; basing final average salary on the last 60 months of service; and increasing retirement age to 55 years and 25 years of service for uniformed employees. Other provisions include – reducing the assumed rate of return on pension investments over 10 years to a more attainable rate; requiring the use of GASB accounting standards; prohibiting the use of pension state aid for plan administration; requiring disclosure of pension costs; prohibiting Deferred Retirement Option Plans (DROPs); and prohibiting plan changes that would result in plan funding dipping below 80%. This proposal does not change the type of pension available to uniformed employees or the benefits currently provided under Act 600 or the Third Class City Code. This proposal should be supported in a bipartisan manner as the provisions are coming directly from the Auditor General. Please call your House Member and request that he or she signs on to this important proposal. Thank you for Answering our Action Alert on House Bill 1400 Local officials were a huge force in slowing down the consideration of HB 1400 by the House Consumer Affairs Committee this month.

  • Senate Leaders • Sen
    The Pennsylvania House and Senate announced their 2019-2020 committee leaders. Why should I care? Committee leaders are influential members of the Pa. General Assembly. Strong relationships between them, PAMED, and physician members are key. Here are the announced committee leaders. While it may seem like some of them have nothing to do with the practice of medicine, all chairs are included because history has shown that legislation that affects physicians can get assigned to a seemingly unrelated committee due to the bill’s contents. Therefore, it’s good for physicians to be aware of all committee leaders in the Pa. General Assembly. Senate Leaders • Sen. Joe Scarnati (Jefferson) – President Pro Tempore • Sen. Jake Corman (Centre) – Majority Leader • Sen. Patrick Browne (Lehigh) – Appropriations Chairman • Sen. John Gordner (Columbia) – Majority Whip • Sen. Bob Mensch (Montgomery) – Caucus Chair • Sen.

  • November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania Was One of the Most Closely Watched
    Keep up to date with our blog: Follow us on Twitter @BuchananGov knowingGovernmentRelations.com November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania was one of the most closely watched states in the country on Election Day. Redistricting of Congressional seats meant a shakeup was coming for the Commonwealth’s 18-member delegation. At the statewide level, the Governor and one of two U.S. Senators were on the ballot. In the state legislature, half of the 50 Senate seats (even- numbered districts) and the entire 203-seat House of Representatives were up for grabs. During the 2017-18 legislative session the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was comprised of 121 Republicans and 82 Democrats. After last night’s election, the 2018-19 legislative session will have 109 Republicans and 94 Democrats, after the Democrats picked up 11 seats. In the Pennsylvania Senate, Republicans had a majority during the 2017-18 by a margin of 34-16. Yesterday, Senate Democrats picked up 5 seats, narrowing the Republican’s majority. Next session will have 29 Republican members and 21 Democratic members. The 18-member Pennsylvania delegation had only 6 Democrats during the 115th Congress (2017-19). When new members are sworn into the 116th Congress next year, Pennsylvania’s delegation will be split, with 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Governor Governor Tom Wolf (D) and his running mate for Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D) defeated the ticket of Scott Wagner (R) and Jeff Bartos (R). Wolf received 2,799,1559 votes (57.66%), while Wagner got 1,981,027 votes (40.81%). U.S. Senate Senator Bob Casey (D) defeated Lou Barletta (R) by a margin of over half a million votes.

We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during 2017. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
