  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
