Specifically, these investments will support flood mitigation efforts, sewer repairs, traffic safety, emergency response, and improvements to parks and trails in our district.

Pennsylvanians deserve the opportunity to decide whether personal reproductive rights should be explicitly protected in our state constitution, and the Senate must act to make that possible.

Today’s action represents a significant step toward advancing the legislation, which could ultimately appear on a future ballot for Pennsylvania voters to decide whether fundamental reproductive rights should be explicitly protected in the state constitution.

Specifically, this legislation proposes an amendment to the Pennsylvania constitution that would reaffirm and protect every Pennsylvanians’ right to privacy and ensure that the state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate personal decisions.

If you are concerned about the financial, environmental, and public health impacts of data center development, contact the PUC and make your voice heard!

Now through 12/22, the PUC is accepting public comments on its tentative order proposing a model tariff for Large Load Customers like data centers. (A “tariff” in this case is the official document that spells out how the electric utilities will structure their rates, charges, and terms of service)

PA families and taxpayers should not be left footing the bill for the massive power needs of data centers or bearing the environmental or public health impacts of data center development.

As data centers’ demand on our electric grid grows, it is critical that residential ratepayers and the stability and reliability of our energy grid are protected.
