Top Priorities if Elected |
- The rate of homicides among black males is alarming, but the legislature has done little to stop the problem.
- Act 201 in 2004, a utility-friendly bill that made it easier to cut off customers with delinquent bills in the Winter.
- Want to help those that are the most needy.

- Pennsylvania deserves a budget by June 30 . . . sooner would be even better!
-
After last year's debacle -- the framework was adopted 101 days late and final details weren't completed until six months past due -- Pennsylvanians are out of patience and eager to see a budget delivered on time!
- Gun Violence Allegheny County, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
-
As is always the case at rallies against violence, there will be eloquent and impassioned speeches about the need for self-esteem, the value of education and the importance of conflict resolution. What won't be in the offing are easy answers about how to deal with the plague of gun violence . . . .
- 3, 992 Pennsylvania Households Using Potentially Unsafe Heating (Space Heaters and Kitchen Ovens)
-
Since the passage of Chapter 14 in late 2004, both the rate and number of utility terminations have increased, jeopardizing the health and safety of those households without utility service, particularly in the cold winter months; and thousands of consumers have been denied payment arrangements because of restrictions placed on the PUC.
