Pennsylvania Again Takes National Leadership Role for Transportation Volume 96, Number 13 December 2013 www.asce-pgh.org Pennsylvania Again Takes National Leadership Role for Transportation The Pennsylvania General Assembly has passed some long-overdue funding for Transportation in Pennsylvania. After years of effort, on November 25, 2013, the leadership of Governor Tom Corbett finally secured passage and signed Pennsylvania’s most comprehensive piece of state transportation legislation in decades. Bipartisan members of the business community rallied with Governor Tom Corbett to pass the legislation critical to sustaining the Pennsylvania economy, supporting employers to be competitive in the global economy. The responsible action of these courageous lawmakers is applauded. If your elected official is among those below, take this opportunity to contact them and congratulate them on their leadership.

Lee James (R) act provides. We are here in 2014. 28 Mike Turzai (R) 66 Sam Smith (R) 30 Hal English (R) 80 Gerry Stern (R) 35 Marc Gergely (D) 81 Mike Fleck (R) By PA Senate District: 25 Joseph Scarnati (R) 42 Wayne Fontana (D) 35 John Wozniak (D) 45 James Brewster (D) 37 Matt Smith (D) 46 Tim Solobay (D) 38 Jim Ferlo (D) 47 Elder Vogel (R) 40 Randy Vulakovich (R) 49 Sean Wiley (D) 41 Donald C. White (R) 50 Robbins (R) Recall the graph at the left from the 2011 report from the Governor Tom Corbett’s TFAC blue-ribbon panel. The graph shows the funding Pennsylvania needs to increase from $3.5 Billion to $7.2 Billion by 2020. The funding gap has now grown to $4.6 Billion. Passage of the funding is projected to generate about only $351 million more in 2014, but it will increase gradually up to $2.3 Billion over 5 years. More funding is still needed, but this act is a long-overdue start. 2012-2013 OFFICERS Director 12-15 Architectural Engineering Institute 2012-2013 COMMITTEES 0XQLFLSDO&RQVXOWLQJ John Havel, PE Jonathan McHugh, PE, Chair :DWHU :DVWHZDWHU Awards President AECOM Gannett Fleming, Inc.

    Volume 96, Number 2 October 2012 www.asce-pgh.org Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” 1997. What were you doing in 1997? How old were your kids? What car did you drive? Bob Carlisle’s “Butterfly Kisses” was the #12 hit. The Spice Girls had 3 top hits in 1997. Basic Cable TV was $29.52 per month. A postage stamp was 29¢. Republican Tom Ridge was Governor. Three Rivers Stadium existed. 1997 Construction Cost Index: 5825. August, 2012 CCI was 9351, up 60%. The PA Liquid Fuel tax, to maintain our roads, was 12¢ per gallon. It still is. In 2012, the Oil Franchise Tax also remains at 19.2¢ per gallon. In 2012, 17% of Pennsylvania bridges are structurally deficient, and 800 must be replaced, and all average over 50 years old. About 20% of the workers in the Pennsylvania Construction industry are unemployed, with 3,300 less in August. In 1997 the Pennsylvania unemployment rate was about 5.1%. After the inflation adjustment to the tax, the rate declined to about 4.2%. In August, 2012 it was 8.1%. Following a nearly decade-long effort in crafting and advocating legislation designed to explore and create public-private partnerships (P3) in transportation, this summer Gov. Tom Corbett signed House Bill 3 into law, making it Act 88 of 2012. It funded nothing. 1997 Governor Tom Ridge “This act opens a new chapter in the way Pennsylvania can fund projects designed to repair and replace our structurally deficient roads and bridges with the cooperation, financial resources and efficiencies of the private sector.” Retiring Rep.

My parents and my sister and I, we were a very close family – we are a very close family – and when I graduated from Parkland High School in 1995, I went to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and I never left Pittsburgh. So, I’ve been a Pittsburgher for about nineteen years.

I am delighted that you will be joining us for this event as we explore the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in southwestern Pennsylvania. In the course of the past year, a number of key policy issues have emerged at the state and local levels. We have not yet passed legislation to address pensions and transportation funding, two key issues that will be of critical importance during the legislative session this fall. Also among these is the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which emerged as the most critical issue for Policy Makers and the Institute of Politics to address. This is primarily because the Act is so complex: it includes the components that one hears about in the media: employer and individual mandates, exemptions to various components of the law, the potential expansion of Medicaid, subsidies for certain categories of individuals, families and businesses, and tax changes, among other things.

  • 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.
