    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.

    Jefferson Report Facts and Friction: Assessing the Impact of Major League Baseball’s Proposal to Reduce Minor League Franchises By Alan Swigonski The Jefferson Educational Society will periodically publish reports on issues important to the Erie region. This report was written by Alan Swigonski. Swigonski, a retired auditor, is the former managing director of the Waldron Campus Center at Gannon University. He was the founding co-director and president of Team Erie, the citizens action group that from 1990 to 1995 helped galvanize public opinion to build Jerry Uht Park, now UPMC Park. Editor’s Note: Reports on the unfolding baseball controversy will be updated on the Jefferson’s website, jeserie.org, and in emails to the Jefferson Report’s list of supporters. – Pat Cuneo, Publications Coordinator 3 ‘Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.’ – George Will, columnist and author Erie May Lose Pro Baseball Facts and Friction: Assessing the Impact of Major League Baseball’s Proposal to Reduce Minor League Franchises By Alan Swigonski Major League Baseball is suddenly considering a radical proposal to eliminate the player development agreements for 42 of its 162 minor league teams at the end of the 2020 season – and the future of MLB-affiliated professional baseball in Erie is squarely on the target list. That development, which continues to unfold, and the alarm expressed by community, government, and business interests – locally, across the state, and nationally – has been swift and Erie SeaWolves President Greg Coleman presents jersey to sweeping. SeaWolves owner Fernando Aguirre Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is the force behind the proposal, for which most baseball watchers suspect is one way for Manfred to bolster his tough guy image in advance of negotiations with the Major League Baseball Players Association as the current Collective Bargaining Agreement is due to expire in 2022.
