  • 2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House
    2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House and Senate Goals in November General Election: Although there are 17 Democratic-held seats in districts that Trump won, the release specifically pinpointed House Districts 33, 55, 72, and 123 as “just a few targets for Republicans” in the upcoming election. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny) represents the least Trump friendly district of those four targets, with the president carrying the 33rd state House District by 5 points over Sec. Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to DailyKos. Dermody’s closest reelection bid since the last two presidential elections was in 2014 when he fended off Republican Sean Watson by 6 points, according to Ballotpedia. Dermody is slated to face Carrie DelRosso, an Oakmont Borough Councilmember and businesswoman, for the seat in the fall. State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) represents the most Trump friendly district of the four targets with Trump winning the 72nd state House District by 43 points over Clinton in 2016. Burns’ closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2018 when he edged out Republican Gerald Carnicella by 5 points, according to Ballotpedia. Burns will face Republican Howard Terndrup for his reelection bid in November. State Rep. Joe Petrarca’s (D-Westmoreland) 55th state House District is also very favorable to Trump with the president carrying his district by 33 points in 2016, according to DailyKos. Petrarca ran unopposed in 2018 and his closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2012 when he defeated Republican John Hauser, although his 2016 victory over Republican Michael Geiselhart was a 13 point win, according to Ballotpedia.

  • University Integrations Public Comments Batch 2 (5/27/21
    DATE PLAN GROUP OTHER COMMENT / SOURCE INFORMATION NAME (GROUP) 5/27/2021 5:56 Northeast Staff, I am very much supportive of the integration. I think it will provide needed changes in structure given the new climate of higher Ed, along with Plan Alumni/ increased opportunities for students throughout the triad. Donor However, I was so disappointed to hear that Recreation Management was not listed in the program array. I believe this is a mistake and does not support the working needs of PA (as almost all of our graduates stay in PA). These individuals staff YMCAs, youth programs, state parks, event centers, venues, and so much more. This program provides skills and necessary curriculum to make students successful in these fields. This program is filled with students who are truly passionate about their coursework and the prospect of bettering the future. This is the only program of its kind to be offered within the triad and Lock Haven University is the ideal location. With hard decisions to be made, I don’t doubt that we can take a harder look at programs and efficiencies, but I ask you to reconsider eliminating the Recreation Management program. I am confident by eliminating this program you will be doing this triad and the state a disservice. 5/27/2021 7:40 West Plan Alumni/ Auxiliary Please define Brand Identity" will remain in tact needs defined with examples and how the alumni can identify with that definition. Change is Donor, employee tough and specifics to how it relates to alumni (plaid, boro, logos, EUP, traditions) would be helpful.

  • 2020 Voter Guide State Legislative Races Pittsburgh Diocese
    2020 Voter Guide State Legislative Races Pittsburgh Diocese The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference is the public affairs arm of the Catholic bishops across the state. We monitor hundreds of pieces of legislation throughout the year and determine whether or not to take a position for or against what we feel are the ones most important to our faith. This Voter Guide includes a cross-section of seven bills spanning seven categories to show how incumbent legislators have voted. We have also invited their challengers in the general election to indicate how they would vote on these same bills. This guide is meant to be an educational piece, which we hope will provide you with information so that you can make your own decisions. A listing of the bills used for this comparison and their descriptions are below. The overall scores given to each candidate indicate the percentage of times they vote in support of PCC’s position and the percentage of times they voted in opposition to PCC’s position. Please understand we continue to work with legislators from all parties on various pieces of legislation. Unlike these, not all of that legislation has been sent to the Governor. The Conference neither supports nor opposes any candidate or political party. The Catholic Conference aims to educate and inform Catholics about a wide range of issues. List of issues included for comparison: Pro Life: House Bill 321 was a prolife measure which would prohibit the aborting of a fetus solely on the basis of a possible diagnosis of Down syndrome. The PCC strongly supported this bill and worked with prolife lawmakers to gain its passage.

    Fair Share Tax Plan District Fact Sheet REPRESENTATIVE PATRICK HARKINS HOUSE DISTRICT 1 The Problem Pennsylvania needs to fix our broken tax system so we have the resources to invest in education, infrastructure, protecting our environment, and human services. We won’t have the funds for common goods if we don’t ask everyone to pay their fair share. Pennsylvania has an upside-down tax system, where those at the bottom of the income scale pay disproportionately more. Those at the bottom pay 12%, those in the middle pay 10%, but those at the top only pay 4%. The Solution The Fair Share Tax Plan: • Raises the income tax on dividends, capital gains, business profits, estates, royalties, and gambling winnings. • Cuts the income tax on wages and interest. • Will generate $2 billion while only raising taxes on less than 20% of Pennsylvanians. 50% of the new revenues will come from the top 1%; 72% from the top 5%; 88% of Pennsylvanians will see their taxes go down or remain unchanged. WHY REP. PATRICK HARKINS SHOULD SUPPORT THE FAIR SHARE TAX PLAN: While still raising $2 billion for investments in Pennsylvania communities, the Fair Share Tax Plan would: REDUCE OR NOT INCREASE STATE INCOME TAXES FOR 87.3% of constituents in Rep. Patrick Harkins’s district CALL 717-787-7406 – TELL REP.
