I'd like to call to order the House 3 Appropriations Committee on leveraging tourism 4 funding to grow Pennsylvania's economy. 5 My name is Bill Adolph. I'm the Republican 6 Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. 7 It's certainly nice to be here. I would be 8 certainly remised if I did not recognize that 9 Representative Dan Moul was doing an outstanding 10 job in organizing our two-day trip here. Yesterday 11 we saw the fruit belt and some of the historic 12 areas in Adams County. 13 Today, Representative Moul has organized 14 this hearing to talk a little bit about leveraging 15 tourism dollars. We certainly have an excellent 16 panel today to give us the information how state 17 funding can help the tourism industry and grow the 18 economy here in Adams County. 19 I would ask that all guests and members, 20 if they would just take a minute and check their 21 cell phones and iPhones and all the electronic 22 devices that you may have on you so that we can 23 have an interruption-free hearing that doesn't 24 interfere with our equipment here. 25 I also would like that each member of Reporters 717.764.7801 [email protected] averaging Tourism Funding to Grow Pennsylvania's Economy Page 5 1 the Appropriations Committee to identify to the 2 viewers and to the panel of what areas of the state 3 you represent. So, starting to my far right. 4 REPRESENTATIVE AUMENT: Good morning. 5 My name is Ryan Aument. I represent the 41st 6 Legislative District in Lancaster County. 7 REPRESENTATIVE GROVE: Seth Grove, 196th 8 District, York County. 9 REPRESENTATIVE MUSTIO: Mark Mustio, 10 44th District, Allegheny County. 11 REPRESENTATIVE KILLION: Tom Killion, 12 168th District, parts of Delaware and parts of 13 Chester County. 14 REPRESENTATIVE PETRI: Scott Petri, 15 178th District, part of Bucks County. 16 REPRESENTATIVE CARROLL: Good morning. 17 Mike Carroll, Luzerne and Monroe counties, Wyoming 18 Valley and parts of the Poconos. 19 REPRESENTATIVE KULA: Good morning. 20 Deberah Kula, Fayette and Westmoreland counties, 21 52nd District. 22 MINORITY CHAIRMAN MARKOSEK: Good 23 morning.

And I also put in an order for some 24 beautiful weather for our trip down here. Thank 25 you for allowing me to do this, Mr. Chairman. Reporters 717.764.7801 [email protected] veraging Tourism Funding to Grow Pennsylvania's Economy Page 7 1 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: And thank 2 you, Representative. At this time we're going to 3 start, before we get into the hearing, I'd like 4 Superintendent Bob Kirby to say a few words to the 5 committee and to the panel welcoming us to the 6 area. Bob, if you would identify yourself and sit 7 at the table, if you don't mind. 8 MR. KIRBY: No, not at all. 9 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: And we have 10 to use these mics because this is going to be aired 11 a little later on probably PCN and other local 12 cables. 13 MR. KIRBY: Well, very good. Thank you. 14 It's quite an honor to have such a distinguished 15 group of folks here. Special thanks to Dan Moul 16 for doing so many good things for the community and 17 the area, and thank you for the House of 18 Representatives from the Appropriations Committee. 19 This is a real honor for us to host you here today. 20 We are in the Visitor Center of 21 Gettysburg National Military Park, and it's run by 22 the Gettysburg Foundation, our partner, which I 23 think we're gonna talk about at some length later 24 on today. It's a great partnership. It sustains 25 us as a federal entity in these difficult times, Reporters 717.764.7801 [email protected] veraging Tourism Funding to Grow Pennsylvania's Economy Page 8 1 and we've done great things. 2 This past year, some of you are familiar 3 with the successes of the community has been able 4 to carry out as a result of a great opportunity of 5 team effort to host at least the first two-thirds 6 of our sesquicentennial year with our anniversary 7 programs that were conducted here in June and July. 8 Norris Flowers will take about some of the numbers; 9 the numbers are phenomenal, and I have upstairs 10 scores and scores of positive letters about the 11 experience that people encountered during their 12 visit here. 13 We had all 50 states in the United 14 States who sent media representatives and 18 15 countries that were here. Norris will tell you 16 that he estimates, and these are CDD numbers, that 17 235,000 people showed up here in this nine-day 18 period to participate in our anniversary programs 19 here in our community. 20 On July 3rd we hosted a grand march 21 across -- a commemorate march across Pickett's 22 Charge Battlefield. For those of you who are 23 historians know that, in 1863 on July 3rd, only 24 12,500 confederate forces made that trip. On July 25 3rd, 2013, we had 15,000 people who made that same Reporters 717.764.7801 [email protected] veraging Tourism Funding to Grow Pennsylvania's Economy Page 9 1 trip. It was a tremendous spectacle. It was 2 amazing. We had 25,000 people watching us. We 3 have 40,000 people out there. 4 For me, it was an amazing moment when I 5 could transport myself back to the days and think 6 what it would feel like to have 15,000 people armed 7 wanting to kill you heading across that field. It 8 was a chilling moment; an interpretive moment. I 9 think the National Park Service is quite capable 10 and does a very good job of carrying out. We 11 couldn't have done it, though, without the support 12 of the community and without the support of our 13 good friends at the Gettysburg Foundation. 14 I look forward to talking to you about 15 that partnership today, later on at noon. But, in 16 the meantime, I welcome you to a productive, good 17 session here. We're honored, once again, to have 18 you join us. Thank you very much. 19 MAJORITY CHAIRMAN ADOLPH: Thank you, 20 Superintendent Kirby. 21 We also have with us today a special 22 guest, certainly a familiar face to all of us, 23 Chairman Jerry Stern, the Chairman of the House 24 Tourism Committee.

  • Pennsylvania: Sold to the Highest Bidder the Outsize Influence of Right-Wing Conservative Dark Money and ALEC
    JXR.CG.FB 04/15/2020 Pennsylvania: Sold to the Highest Bidder The Outsize Influence of Right-wing Conservative Dark Money and ALEC Imagine This: • Instead of attending public schools, children attend virtual, for-profit charter schools. • Medicare is privatized and seniors receive a subsidy to purchase for-profit medical insurance. • Instead of receiving Social Security, recipients manage their own retirement finances. • Private, for-profit companies own and manage critical U.S. infrastructure, like roads and bridges. • States outsource the management of prisons to private, for-profit companies. The Reality of a Dystopian World of Privatization Most school children would learn less in virtual charter schools. For hundreds of years, education has been a communal effort, first handled by churches and synagogues, then by local communities. The understood purpose was passing on skills that reflected the community's culture and values, not profit. A Stanford University Center for Research on Education Outcomes study shows that students at online charter schools significantly underperform those attending traditional public schools.1 Another study focused on online schools states that "academic benefits from online charter schools are currently the exception rather than the rule."2 Online charter schools use fewer credentialed teachers, and teachers without credentials could be paid less. And for-profit school operators would make a profit at the expense of our school children. Privatizing Medicare would result in increased costs for 59 percent of recipients.3 Retirees managing their own Social Security benefits would lose the guarantee of defined benefits, the type that typically pay a set monthly amount at retirement.

    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.

  • Expanding Pharmacist-Provided Immunization Opportunities
    Expanding Pharmacist-Provided Immunization Opportunities House Bill 91 and Senate Bill 274 Legislation: • House Bill 91 - introduced by Representative Seth Grove - currently in the House Health Committee. • Senate Bill 274 - introduced by Senator Judy Ward - currently in the Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee. Ask your legislators: • Ask your Representatives to vote for House Bill 91. • Ask your Senators to vote for SB 274. Facts About Immunizations: • Currently in Pennsylvania, there are approximately 9,500 certified pharmacist immunizers available to safely and conveniently administer vaccinations. • According to a 2008 article in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, “With supporting health policy, health education, and communication, health care settings beyond the traditional medical home (e.g. pharmacists) have the potential to effectively augment the vaccination efforts of more traditional settings to deliver vaccines to adolescents.” • Thirteen other states have no age restrictions for pharmacists providing immunizations. • Thirty-six states allow pharmacists to provide all immunizations to children of younger ages than provided in Pennsylvania. PPA supports expanding pharmacist-provided immunization opportunities because: • The public's unique access to pharmacists – including extended hours of operation and weekend availability, coupled with being a trusted health care professional – places pharmacies in an ideal position to have a major impact on reducing vaccine-preventable illness. • Pharmacists are trained to administer immunizations and are a trusted partner in patients overall health care.
