Atherton, MA, Assistant Director Katrina Morrison, Candidate for the MA Degree in Criminal Justice Institute for Public Affairs Temple University Contents Page I Executive Summary 1 II Overview of the Problem and Discussion of Options 4 Matrix of Options 12 III Right-Sizing Options Explained 16 Appendix A Selected Pennsylvania Programs 27 Appendix B Pennsylvania Reform Initiatives Present and Past 31 Appendix C Programs and Initiatives in Other States 41 Appendix D Public Opinion on “Right-Sizing” Issues 50 Appendix E Potential Economies of Scale in PA Municipalities 52 Appendix F Costs of Regional Versus Local Police Services 66 Appendix G Individuals Interviewed 93 Bibliography 95 Part I: Executive Summary Pennsylvania has perhaps the most fragmented system of local government in the United States, with 2,563 municipalities, 2,289 volunteer fire companies, and more than 3,100 municipal pension systems, or 25 percent of all such plans in the nation. Although some social scientists argue that multiple local governments lead to more efficient tax and service levels because consumers can shop for the package that best fits their needs, even proponents of that view would agree that government policies can distort the market for efficient tax-service packages. There is reason to believe that Pennsylvania has distorted that market. Perhaps alone among the states, the Commonwealth does not require municipalities to provide police protection, fire protection, or to take care of thousands of miles of essentially local roads.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates April 21, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog 16,000 Miles of Polluted Streams Add Urgency to Call for Clean Water Funding Clean water is a right, not an option, yet a newly released report shows that more Pennsylvania streams are losing the battle against pollution this year than in past years, according to the Department of Environmental Protection, adding urgency to the call last week for a PA Fair Share for Clean Water funding plan . The report, “The 2008 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report,” shows that nearly 16,000 of Pennsylvania’s 86,000 miles of streams and rivers do not meet water quality standards. In addition, over 38,300 acres of lakes and ponds are similarly impaired. In addition to commending DEP for their work in obtaining the data, CBF recognized the report as a valuable tool for watershed groups and citizens interested in improving local water quality. “Approximately half of Pennsylvania’s streams drain to the Chesapeake Bay. With nearly 16,000 miles of our streams laden with pollution, it’s no wonder the Bay is suffering,” said Harry Campbell, CBF’s Pa Staff Scientist. “At its heart, the Bay restoration effort is about respecting and restoring our streams—the streams in our own backyard. If we find the political and societal will do that, the Bay will respond in-kind.” The report, first released in 1998, is released every two years, as an on-going assessment of Pennsylvania’s waterways in order to determine the stream miles impaired and the causes of impairment.

    April 20, 2020 VIA EMAIL Teresa Miller, Secretary Russell Redding, Secretary Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture 625 Forster Street 2301 North Cameron Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Harrisburg, PA 17110 Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients Dear Secretary Miller and Secretary Redding, We are writing out of concern for the health and safety of our community and the economic well- being of our local food growers and producers. In order for people to adhere to Center for Disease Control (CDC) social distancing recommendations, to reduce the number of people grocery store workers come into direct contact with, and to enable farmers to facilitate more direct-to-customer sales, we ask that you support retailers in developing ways to accept EBT payments in more environments, such as curbside pickup and payment on delivery, and online sales. Delivery options need to be available to SNAP households. We know that more than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability. Prior to this pandemic, many of these families relied on ride sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. They now find themselves struggling to find someone to go grocery shopping for them. Delivery and pickup options that include online EBT payment will allow communities to better serve vulnerable SNAP households. The guidance that USDA has provided about offering payment at pickup options is helpful, but it still means that someone has to present the EBT card at the store. This leaves our vulnerable neighbors to find someone they trust with their EBT card and PIN who is willing to go to the store on their behalf.
