That is why, in recent newspaper articles and commentary, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has called for a radical restructuring of the board. In recent days, we have also been pleased to submit guidance on specific issues of board governance to the Pennsylvania Auditor General as he prepares to provide you with a special report. Since, ultimately, you—members of the legislature—will be responsible for any statutory changes, I want to take the opportunity to highlight some recommendations. By way of introduction, ACTA is an independent nonprofit organization devoted to academic freedom, academic excellence, and accountability in higher education. For over 15 years, ACTA has worked with policymakers and trustees across the country to promote academic quality and affordability. Our Institute for Effective Governance focuses specifically on higher education governance.

  • April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department Of
    April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department of Human Services 625 Forster Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Miller, Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients As legislators, we understand the economic precariousness of our constituents since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreaks and that it has increased the need for people to access the SNAP benefits program to ensure food security. We understand the need for SNAP recipients to have safe access to groceries which would include access to online grocery shopping and delivery services. More than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability and many of these families rely on ride-sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. Leaving their homes to make in-person payments or even using neighborhood volunteer-based buddy systems further increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 for an already at-risk population. We support DHS in submitting a waiver that allows SNAP benefit users to complete online grocery orders (and allow for home delivery service) so that they may adhere to the COVID-19 response guidelines outlined by the state government. This waiver will be a good start to supporting our most vulnerable population. Additionally, we encourage you to look ahead to broadening the options and abilities for using and accepting SNAP benefits. From across the Commonwealth, we hear concerns about the safety and security of local food growers and producers who keep our food supply safe and steady and the financial security of these industries that are considered essential.

    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.
