  • November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania Was One of the Most Closely Watched
    Keep up to date with our blog: Follow us on Twitter @BuchananGov knowingGovernmentRelations.com November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania was one of the most closely watched states in the country on Election Day. Redistricting of Congressional seats meant a shakeup was coming for the Commonwealth’s 18-member delegation. At the statewide level, the Governor and one of two U.S. Senators were on the ballot. In the state legislature, half of the 50 Senate seats (even- numbered districts) and the entire 203-seat House of Representatives were up for grabs. During the 2017-18 legislative session the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was comprised of 121 Republicans and 82 Democrats. After last night’s election, the 2018-19 legislative session will have 109 Republicans and 94 Democrats, after the Democrats picked up 11 seats. In the Pennsylvania Senate, Republicans had a majority during the 2017-18 by a margin of 34-16. Yesterday, Senate Democrats picked up 5 seats, narrowing the Republican’s majority. Next session will have 29 Republican members and 21 Democratic members. The 18-member Pennsylvania delegation had only 6 Democrats during the 115th Congress (2017-19). When new members are sworn into the 116th Congress next year, Pennsylvania’s delegation will be split, with 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Governor Governor Tom Wolf (D) and his running mate for Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D) defeated the ticket of Scott Wagner (R) and Jeff Bartos (R). Wolf received 2,799,1559 votes (57.66%), while Wagner got 1,981,027 votes (40.81%). U.S. Senate Senator Bob Casey (D) defeated Lou Barletta (R) by a margin of over half a million votes.

  • State Representative Pamela A. Delissio Minority Chair | Children and Youth Committee
    State Representative Pamela A. DeLissio Minority Chair | Children and Youth Committee Dear Colleagues, As minority chair of the House Children and Youth Committee, I want to keep you in the loop regarding the work of the committee. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or my staff if we can be of assistance. Our focus includes childcare as we endeavor to come out of this pandemic better and stronger. COMMITTEE NEWS RECAP PCN Call-In Program – April 27, 2021 Chairs Delozier and DeLissio participated in a recent PCN Call-In Program, where they discussed the various issues within the Children and Youth Committee. Major topics of interest included: • The Child Care Collapse: As of late December, about 480 childcare centers have permanently closed due to low attendance as the result of COVID-19. Some providers, however, believe that number is higher because smaller centers that accept only private pay can be harder to track than those that accept public funding. DHS states that about 300 centers have also opened; although it is not known at this time if the closures and openings are in the same geography. • Child Abuse Reporting: There has been an overall reduction in the number of child abuse cases that have been reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. This reduction may be due to a decrease in the time mandated reporters (teachers, camp counselors, church officials, etc.) have spent with children, as teachers are one of the biggest identifiers and reporters of suspected child abuse. During a time in which children are continuing to attend school virtually, Chairs DeLissio and Delozier stressed the importance of individuals calling the Childline hotline (1-800-932-0313) to report suspected abuse or neglect.

  • A Fair Share Tax to Support Public Investment in Pennsylvania
    A Fair Share Tax to Support Public Investment in Pennsylvania 412 N. 3rd St, Harrisburg, PA 17101 • www.pennbpc.org • 717-255-7156 By Marc Stier and Diana Polson1 April 15, 2019 Executive Summary This paper puts forward the Fair Share Tax plan, a major step toward fixing Pennsylvania’s broken tax system and raising the revenues we need to invest in the public goods that are critical to creating thriving communities and individual opportunity in our state: education, infrastructure, protection for our air and water, and human services. • The Fair Share Tax divides our Personal Income Tax into two new taxes: 1) a tax on wages and interest and 2) a tax on income from wealth (dividends; net income from a business, profession, or farm; capital gains; net income from rents, royalties, patents, and copyrights; gambling and lottery winnings; and income from estates or trusts.) • The Fair Share Tax increases the tax on income from wealth from 3.07% to 6.5% and decreases the tax on wages and interest from 3.07% to 2.8%. • Under the Fair Share Tax, 47% of taxpayers will see their taxes go down, 35% will see no change in their taxes, and only 18% will see their taxes go up. • The Fair Share Tax brings in $2.2 billion in new revenue, 80% of which comes from the richest fifth of Pennsylvania taxpayers and 16% of which comes from out-of-state taxpayers. This means that only a tiny 4% of the additional revenue comes from the bottom four-fifth of Pennsylvania taxpayers.
