Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So Tell Me What You Want, What You Really, Really Want.” 1997 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. Rick Geist said “It is an important step in rebuilding our infrastructure.” Is it? “We can and must continue to move forward and do more for Pennsylvania.” Geist said. See page 4 for their votes. But the Pennsylvania legislature has enacted no adjustment for inflation to our transportation revenue since 1997. In 1997, the Legislative Branch enacted only 1/3 of what the Executive Branch advised was necessary just to just keep even with maintenance. 15 years of procrastination. “We Don’t Do Public Works!” At a recent gathering of supporters, the House Majority Leader indicated that action on transportation funding in Pennsylvania is dependent upon the governor, and that no action is likely until at least Spring of 2013. The House Majority Leader only controls which funding legislation may get to the floor of the House for consideration. To his assembled supporters he said: “We don’t do public works!” Pennsylvania’s House Majority Leader, who after 12 years, has lifetime income, was not yet in office in 1997, and his children weren’t yet born.

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.
