Funding public transit systems like Red Rose Transit isn’t optional; it's a MUST if we want to continue to grow. We might be good this coming year but if we don't address transit funding soon, they may be forced to raise fares & cut routes. We can’t let that happen! youtu.be/t_464FI2res

As a parent, I wanted to learn everything about caring for my newborns. Pennsylvania once screened newborns for Gaucher’s Disease but stopped in 2020. Rep. Salisbury’s bill (HB1652) would restore this test, helping families detect the disease early and plan treatment as children grow.
